German troops looking understandably apprehensive as they wait to confront General Leclerc's Shermans with PAK 36 antitank gun (dubbed the "door knocker" by German troops in 1940, reflecting its limited abilities), Rud des Archives, Paris, August 1944.  For the German garrison of Paris at this time, heavy equipment was both in short supply and - as in this case - antiquated.  Best regards, JR.
