Further Development Perspectives
Several self-propelled models were proposed in 1945 but the war ended before even prototypes could be built. It is clear that had the war in Europe carried on longer the 8H63 would have been a major factor and would likely have replaced the towed PAK 40 and various 7.5 cm infantry guns in production.
Krupp was also developing an enlarged 10 cm design known as the 10 cm PAW 1000 or 10H64 at the end of the war but none reached production. This would have had an armor penetration increased to 200 mm in a gun of about 1,000 kg with the effective range against tanks increased to 1,000 meters.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“Women, because of their colonial relationship to men, have to fight for their own independence. This fight for our own independence will lead to the growth and development of the revolutionary movement in this country. Only the independent woman can be truly effective in the larger revolutionary struggle.”
