The 57 mm isn't one you hear much about.
I met a WW2 vet at an MVPA convention in Portland, Oregon years ago who had been part of a 57 mm gun team in the advance across Europe. He was rightly proud of the fact that at one point they had knocked out an 88 by putting a shot into the ammunition supply.
The greatest generation? I've got no argument with that.
Good luck with the restoration.
