| Notes | The 57mm ZIS-2 anti-tank gun was developed in 1940 and put into production in 1941. Production was halted when the Soviets found that German armour was not as well protected as previously thought and that their 45mm anti-tank guns were adequate for the role. This view however changed when the Panther and Tiger started to make their presence felt and this forced the Soviets to re-start production of the ZIS-2. It was issued to artillery units in infantry regiments and independent anti-tank gun regiments. |
