Need info about 2cm guns

[Sturm78]

Hi all,

I found in a czech forum these images of 2cm germans guns, but I do not understand a word of czech language.
I need information about these guns. Can someone help me?

Hi,

I think they are not 2cm GebFlak 38 AA guns for mountain troops.

2cm Flak 38 or 2cm Mg151/20 for ground use perhaps???
Nobody??

On the first photo you can see the "T" shaped thing on end of the gun just like the ones on the 2 cm in Erdkampflafette

These are 2cm GebFlak 38. The first picture is of a variant for use by mountain troops against ground targets. The second and third are of the airborne version. The reference for this is "Weapons of the Third Reich" by Gander and Chamberlain. all three pictures are in the book.

This looks like the same type of gun near Cherbourg in late June 1944. Photo by Fred Ramage/Keystone/Getty Images in

Hi Emmanuel

Nice picture , what strikes me that most photo's from the 2 cm gun on the wooden frame are with Luftwaffe troops .

Aren't they originally Flak guns?

Hi all,

Can anyone help me to identify correctly this AA gun? Maybe a 20mm Breda Mle 1935, but the shield is very strange.
Carriage without legs??

Here is one with my uncle fighting on Crete after the airborne operation at Maleme.

Hi Radar,

Great photo!!
I think that the gun of your photo is a Solothurn 2cm AA gun, perhaps captured to Greek army.

Hi all,

I think I hasten on my initial assessment of your photo, Radar. It is possible that your photo shows a german 2cm Flak airborne version. It is very difficult for me to distinguish these weapons so similar.
I need other opinions.

Hello All

I think that there are a lot of simalarities with this gun as the one's on the photo's from Radar and Sturm78
http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... lit=+greek please see the photo from Emanuelle .

Hi Jopaerya,

I think that the gun of Radar and mine is the same,probably a airborne version of 2cm Flak30 or 38.
Both have many similarities, including a rare sight, perhaps for AT role .

I think that the gun of Emanuelle photo is a Solothurn 20mm ST-5.

difficult matter
