Also this one. What is the formal German name for the flak attached to the halftrack like this?

Hello

Regarding the Flakgun, maybe an 88 mm. but a lot of details are hidden, but the overall looks indicate that it is :-)

The SdKfz with 2 cm. is a SdKfz 251/17, a Luftwaffe variant also deployed to the Herman Göring Div.

Regards
Kurt

The 1st one is an 8,8 cm Flak 36 or 37 (but not 18), it's impossible to recognise the exact variant as the firing data receivers or the rammer are invisible.
