I haven't heard of an German 7,5cm FlaK gun .. However they used the 7,62-cm Flak M 31 (r) captured from the Russians. But they've surley used other foreign/captured FlaK guns aswell, maybe some of 7,5cm calibre.

I also have not heard of a German 7.5cm Flak gun, there were captured 7.5cm guns (such as French guns), and the 7.62cm Russian Flak.

7.5 cm Flak L/60 originally built by Krupp in Sweden. Not bought by Germany but was sold to Spain and Brazil. Undelivered guns taken over by Kreigmarine in 1939. Often misidentified or miscaption as a 8.8 cm flak. Pics from Osprey & WWII Fact Files

Hello
I add some lines about the 7,5 cm.
A 7,5 cm L/35 Krupp Räderlafette is mentioned, in use around 1910, at the Kaisermanövern.
There is also some info about the 7,5 cm L/60, the germans having a "restbeständ" when war break out. It was produced in Germany also, and sold to other countries, especially Spain during the civil war. The germans made use of it(eingestellt) in 1932.
Other 7,5 cm Flak mentioned and used by the germans, is the Norwegian 7,5 cm Flak M32, the french 7,5 cm Flak M17/34, M36, and M33.
Info from "Flak" by Horst.A.Koch, and "Deutsche Flug-Abwehr im 20.jahrhundert by Otto W.von Renz.

The 7,5 cm Flak was used a lot in Norway, 7,5 cm Flak L/60(Krupp), the the norwegian 7,5 cm Flak L/45 MK32, 7,5 cm L.V.K. L/45 M/16 (n). Adm. Polarküste had in autumn 1941 listed 12 X 7,5 cm Flak 28 (beute) around Narvik (mfl.abt.706), and 32 X 7,5 cm Flak in use in Narvik area in autumn 1942.
The 7,5 cm Flak(Türk) is also on lists over flak in Norway, Narvik area if im not wrong.

I can add that the German passed to Italy un unknown number (maybe up to 100) of the Skoda 75mm PL vz 37 (75/50 for us) which had an official German identification: 7.5cm M37 (t)

(At least, according to Italian sources. Ian V. Hogg, German Artillery of World War Two, identifies the 37(t) as a 3.7cm ATG)

Additionally, a sizeable number of Italians 75/46 Mod.1934 were captured in 1943 and used in Italy (German identification unknown).

Hi,

What exaclty was the Flak 75mm Turk?

[jopaerya]

Hi Nuyt

They are all names for the same gun 7.5 cm Flak C/38 L/60 (Krupp)
there were according to this list from 1940 16 guns ready for export
to Turkey but used by the German troops .

Regards Jos

[nuyt]

[jopaerya]

HI Nuyt
