Historical Information

The Flakvierling 38 was developed as an evolution of earlier Flak 38 designs. Due to its high rate of firepower (four 20 mm barrels), it was used from 1940 until the end of World War II on various theaters, including the Eastern and Western Fronts, North Africa, and in the anti-aircraft defense of German cities. It was mounted on armored vehicles, trucks, and ground installations, as well as on railway platforms. It was renowned for its high maneuverability and flexible use, making it an effective weapon not only against low-flying aircraft but also against infantry and lightly armored vehicles.
