This is the well known PaK 38 37mm anti-tank gun, withe the large shaped charge projector on the end of the barrel.
Here is the same shaped charged projectile on an American 37mm anti-tank gun. Note the troops are wearing US packs. I got a set of US Army from Valiant. They were listed as 1/72nd scale but I think they are too big. I kept the packs but got rid of the rest. The packs found their way to these guys.
Bazooka with loader. Bazooka is American and the loader has an M-1 rifle.
Another soldier with a US Army pack.
A captured Sherman tank. Jerry can rack and Jerry cans on the rear hull. Side skirts added, and an MG-42 is mounted on the turret. The Germans captured a lot of Shermans and used them for their own. Typically they did not do this much conversion work on the tanks.

I have a bunch of Valiants - they scale out as true 1/72 or old school 25mm.
Yes, between the chunky style and the slightly taller stature they just don't seem to fit in well with my other 1/72nd scale figures. Too bad because they make good stuff.
