About the Flakvierling 38
Originally developed as a light anti-aircraft weapon for the Kriegs
marine, the German army also adopted the 20mm cannon for use on land and
was widely-used throughout WWII. To compensate for the cannons low rate
of fire, 4 of these cannons were mounted together to create the
Flakvierling 38. The mount featured collapsible seats, ammo cartridge
racks, a three-legged base, and could be rotated via hand wheels, with
the guns themselves fired via two foot pedals,each of which controlled a
pair of diametrically opposed cannons. In basic form, the Flakvierling38
was loaded onto a 2-wheeled mount for towing to deployment points, but
it was also fitted onto halftracks, tank chassis, ships, barges, and trains to provide close-range air defense against Allied
fighter-bombers.
