Is the Czech made Skoda 47mm AT gun was about the only thing that could successfully penetrate many of the heavy French armored tanks. During the Invasion of France, 1940.The German 37mm gained the rep of being the "door knocker." Rounds just bounced off the same armored tanks.
The Skoda 47mm was hurriedly lashed-up to half-tracks and open top mobile AT tanks. Served through early stages of Barbarossa. Until the long 75mm AT could be implemented.
