Guten Abend, Kameraden! I am new to both the hobby and this forum, and would appreciate some help with an issue: was the old 13mm anti-tank rifle of WWI utilized at any time by the Wehrmacht? And if so, to what extent. Again, any help would be apprectiated.
Hoch!

Re: "Elephant Gun"
Hello Wilhelm and welcome to Feldgrau!
As far as I know, the Mauser Tankgewehr M1918 went out of production at the end of WWI. The main anti-tank rifle of the beginning of WWII was the Panzerbüchse 39, a more practical development of the earlier Panzerbüchse 38. I have never seen or read that the WWI Mauser T-Gewehr was used in WWII. If you would find any information on this, please continue to post it here...

Thank you for the information, Doctor.
I was aware of the later developments, but did not know if the old model continued to be used.
