However, after the disastrous results of the desert warfare in 1941, the British authorities changed their minds. British fireâ€" power had been unable to pierce German tank armor. When it became apparent to them that their country would be taken over by Germany, they smuggled the prototypes of the weapon from the country prior to the German invasion. Work on the weapon was comâ€" pleted in England, but after a deâ€" monstration in November, 1940, the British war office rejected the invention. Janecek‘s father was a Czechoâ€" slovakian arms manufacturer. In 1938 they invented a high veloâ€" city antiâ€"tank gun and began to develop it for the Czech army. The Littiejohn antiâ€"tank proâ€" jectile, fired through a special adaptor fitted to the muzzle of a standard â€" British twoâ€"pounder, turned the tide of the Libyan campaign in Britain‘s favor. Up to that time Britain did not possess a weapon that would pierce the strong armor of the German tanks. F. K. Janecek, a Czech enginâ€" eer, who with his father, invented the antiâ€"tank weapon, fled his country prior to the German inâ€" vasion in 1939. He is now a resiâ€" dent of Ottawa. The English version of Janecek is Littlejohn, the name given the projectiles by the British. Prototypes of an antiâ€"tank proâ€" jectile which changed the course of the Libyan campaign of the World War II have been donated to Ottawa‘s Canadian War Museâ€" um by its inventor.
