The US 57mm M1 Anti-Tank Gun
Why was the 57mm anti-tank gun held in so low regard by the US forces in the European campaign of 44-5 ?
It was an almost direct copy of the British 6 pdr and yet the 6 pdr remained a popular and, from most accounts, fairly successful A/T gun in the British Commonwealth forces while fighting the same enemy with the same equipment ????
