I guess you could count also, for the Germans, the Ostwind, Wirblewind, Mobel (sp?) and truck mounted 20mm AA, and the various 20mm and 15mm MG mounts on Sd250 & 251 chassis....

Kind of reflects the proportion of Luftwaffe to US/Brit/Soviet airforces, I guess!

Absolutly Mcivan you can see the jump in the numbers of German aa guns as the war goes on.

Nice pic :) In similar vein, 21st Panzer in Normandy had a bunch of flak gun conversions on French halftracks.

No one could accuse the Germans of not being able to improvise....although I wouldn't have wanted to be their spares department!

That would of been an ugly jobBig Grin
