Historical Information

The 5cm FLAK 41 is a German 50 mm caliber anti-aircraft gun developed by Rheinmetall-Borsig. Its production started in 1940, and the main user was the army of the Third Reich. The gun was designed to combat medium aerial targets, such as high-flying bomber aircraft. The FLAK 41 was used, among other things, in the defense of important strategic locations, including factories and cities, during World War II, primarily between 1941–1945. Despite its modern design, the gun proved difficult to manufacture and operate, so relatively few units of this weapon type were produced.
