Steyr 1500a 3 cm Flak 103/38 BR II Event

In mid-1944, faced with absolute Allied air superiority

It led to despair due to the overwhelming Allied air power.Since there was no preferred vehicle for combating enemy fighters in large numbers (Wirbelwind, Ostwind), the option chosen was to adapt trucks and any light vehicle as the fastest way to provide mobile AA defense to divisions, logistics columns and rear units Who were protected by the famous Behelfs-Flakwagen (improvised Flak vehicles)
