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.

Just got some figures on the wirblewind and ostwind production. Not many at all.
1944 / 1945
Ostwind 15 / 28
Wirblewind 100 / 6

How about this conversion?

A captured russian T-34, converted with 4 x 20mm AA Gun´s and used in small numbers of items. :conf: :chin:

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 job

Or this conversion ? :-)

Now that is hilarious.
