Flakpanzer 38 (t) Gepard in Bayeux museum (France)
Hello,
Looking on my photos and postcards collection, I have found this postcard which comes from the Battle of Normandy 1944 Museum and which is dating from end 90's/ beginning of the 2000's :
It seems like the Panzer on the background is a Flakpanzer 38 (t) Gepard. Here are some photos of the vehicle :
If this vehicle in the museum is a Flakpanzer 38 (t) Gepard, this would be the only one remaining nowadays. Taking photos inside the museum was forbidden when I visited it, however, do someone has better pictures of this vehicle? The museum was recently renovated and it is said to show mainly documents and photos and not many uniforms and vehicles. Who could confirm that? If this Gepard is not exposed in Bayeux, where is it now?
Thanks for your help.

Flak Pz 38(t)
The photos in the Trevor Larkum book show the Saumur example, the Jacques Pichon collection at Cleres has been disbanded since he died approx 10-12 years ago, it is believed that this one is in the UK somewhere.

Normally, I only hear Flakpanzer 38t, never heard Gepard. Is it really call Gepard ?
