As the Allies started to gain more and more superiority in the skies the German army realised that the Panzer divisions needed more anti-aircraft protection.
In 1944 they came up with two flak Panzers that would be deployed along with the Panzer divisions. The one in the foreground is the Ostwind (East Wind), mounting a 3.7cm gun. The one in the background is the Wirbelwind (Whirlwind) which carried four 2cm flak guns.
