Sd Kfz 7/2 Armoured Half Track with 3.7cm Flak43

The Sd Kfz 7 was commonly used for towing the 88mm anti tank gun as well as heavier 105mm and 150mm artillery pieces. As allied air superiority grew during WWII the Germans used converted tank and half track chassis to mount mobile anti aircraft weapons. Most common were the 37mm Flak43 and the Quad 20mm Flak38 anti-aircraft guns. To increase protection for the crew, the Sd Kfz 7 was fitted with armoured plating around the cab and engine. Unfortunately the gun crew were still badly exposed.
