Gebirgsflak 38

The Gebirgsflak 38 was a German anti-aircraft weapon of World War II, a lightweight version of the 2 cm FlaK 38 designed for airborne and mountain troops as a dual-purpose gun for use against air and ground targets.

The gun and carriage were designed to allow the weapon to be broken into several pack loads for transport.

Unlike the Flak 38, the light carriage is not designed for high towing speeds.

The Gebirgsflak 38 was fired using a foot pedal on the right front of the flak mount.

Elevating and traversing of the gun were manual using handwheels located on the right and left sides of the mount respectively.
