The 7.7 cm Leichte Kraftwagengeschütze M1914 was an early German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun developed before and used during the First World War.

During the Franco-Prussian War, Paris was surrounded by the Prussians, and the French attempted to use balloons to smuggle messages and supplies in and out of the besieged city.

In response, Krupp developed a 37 mm cannon mounted on a pedestal and sat on a four-wheeled horse cart.

The primary role for the M1914 was to provide mobile air defenses for targets such as supply depots, command centers, and bridges.

The trunnioned barrel was held by a U-shaped gun cradle that rotated on top of a steel pedestal.

The gun had a semi-automatic Krupp horizontal sliding-wedge breech to boost its rate of fire and used the same ammunition as the FK 96 n.A.
