Description
Starting in 1942, the 5-ton Zugkrafywagen was superseded by the 8-ton Zugkrafywagen as the self-propelled mount for the 3.7cm Flak. Starting in 1943, an armor radiator shield and crew cab was introduced as protection against shell fragments and small-arms fire. Production of the Sd.Kfz.7/2 began in 1942, and continued to the end of the war, with about 1000 produced by the end of January 1945. Initially there were nine Sd.Kfz.7/2’s in each Flak-Kompanie or Batterie; that was increased to 12 in October 1943.
