Hi all,
An 200cm Flakscheinwerfer 40 in Denmark. I think the image was taken after surrender, probably...

Hi all,
A German 150cm Flakscheinwerfer. It seems that a Flakfernrohr 10 x 80 binoculars is linked to the searchlight.....
I never had seen this...

Sturm.
It looks like the photograph is a mirror image.
I attached a horizontally flipped copy.
Also included a picture of a Marine Flak searchlight with a device coupled on its right side.

Could the device be some kind of DSG-Dunkelsuchgerät?

Looks like a searchlight made by Sautter-Harlé.

This is a Sautter-Harlé searchlight. I am not sure....I think there are some differences...

Re: I need help to Id. Flakscheinwerfer
Sturm,
You are right.
Maybe 'Bregeut' is more likely, because of the typical doors.
See attachment from:

Unfortunately this document does not cotain a photograph of the model we are looking for.

Re: I need help to Id. Flakscheinwerfer
Here is another version produced by Sautter-Harle . It is only one version depending on the use Naval, Coast Artillery, or AAA use.
Re: I need help to Id. Flakscheinwerfer
Well, It is possible. I think Breguet and Sautter-Harle were the only French manufacturers of military searchlights. The document does not specify the different models of searchlights in service with the French anti-aircraft artillery in 1939-40....factfndr54 wrote

Re: I need help to Id. Flakscheinwerfer
Hi all,
Can somebody identify the model / manufacturer of this Swiss searchlight ?
I think that the Swiss used a 150cm Flakscheinwerder model (probably Siemens) on a 2-axle trailer. It would be similar (although not identical to the German 150cm Flakscheinwerfer 34)
The searchlight of this image used the same trailer although with different wheels but the searchlight is quite different to the Germans Flakscheinwerfer 34 or 37 models ... Perhaps an indigenous Swiss design ??
