The 305 Heers Flak was in the Normandy area during the invasion and was charged with protecting key installations and positions from Allied air attack. This vehicle has kill markings for three aircraft and appears in a hastily applied two-tone camouflage. The 2-cm Flakvierling 38 was used extensively on the Eastern and Western fronts by both the regular German Army and Luftwaffe units from 1943 to the end of the war.
Designed to meet a 1934 requirement for an eight ton armored half-track vehicle, The Sd.Kfz.7 first entered service in 1938. Its primary use was as a tractor for the 8.8 cm FlaK gun and 150 mm howitzer, but anti-aircraft variants were also produced. It could carry gun crews of up to 12 men and their gear, with room for ammunition storage as well. Used throughout the war, the Sd.Kfz. 7 appeared in the 1940 Paris victory parade, was featured in German propaganda films and became one of the most iconic half-track vehicles of its time. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
