Greetings,
Schorschl
The actual caliber in metric was 76.2 mm so it raises the question of the "7,5 cm" designation. A "beute" designation, "7,62 cm Flak Mounting (e)", is seen in a German document posted by Jos in 2009. See here:
http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... 0&t=155357

For the same battery of Callantsoog in the Netherlands, Rudi Rolf writes "7,62 K261(e)" in its book "Der Atlantikwall".

Obviously a member of the Rheinmetall/Solothurn family. 2 cm Flak 30 and 2 cm MG C/30 had different trigger arrangement, so 2 cm KwK 30 seems to be a good match. :)
