Trumpeter 02310 FLAK 37 (German 3.7cm anti-aircraft gun) 1:35 |
|||
In 1937 the Flak 36 was upgraded with a new aiming device from Seitz and was given a new designation as well, and that is how the 36 became the 3,7cm Flak 37. Aside from the new aiming device the gun was unchanged.
The 3,7 cm 36 was a success even more so then the 2cm Flak’s, as it delivered a bigger load to a higher altitude and was also very effective against ground targets. This gun was used in several roles in pretty much any branch the German army had to offer, from Heer to Luftwaffe to Marine and ended up on a lot of ground vehicles as well. Mostly the heavier halftracks like the 8 ton SdKfz 7 and the Schwere Wehrmacht Schlepper, which were capable of carrying it and giving the gun a large amount of mobility. |
