45mm ammo (pak, flak?) & schindlers list

In Schindler's list (movie) Oskar S says something to Gestapo officer about 45mm ammo and little children who cleares them inside with hes fingers. I started to think about that and realized that there were no 45mm guns in Germany at ww2. Am i correct? Or would they be the russian ones? Did Germans made ammunition for captured weaponry?

Hi

First look at this tread:

There was a 45 mm 184/1 (r) Pak used by the Germans in large numbers.
