Description

In Nuts & Bolts Vol. 25 (Flakpanzer IV) we only provided a brief summary on the 2 cm Flakvierling 38 as the armament of the Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind. During research we were surprised by the technical complexity of this weapon and therefore from our initial studies it was apparent that this important weapons system deserved its own in depth Nuts & Bolts. For the first time in recorded literature an extensive technical description of the gun is given with a highlights on the sights used with the gun as most of the constructional changes of the gun are directly related to the sights. Also the service history of the Flakvierling is described with organisational schemes and historical photos showing the gun from 1940 to the War’s end together with a comprehensive review and example of the models available at this time:
