Authenticity and Historical Usage

The 2cm FlaK 38 was a German anti-aircraft gun whose mass production began in 1939. It was widely used by the Third Reich's military during World War II on all fronts, serving not only as an anti-aircraft weapon but also providing fire support against infantry and lightly armored enemy vehicles. The gun was employed both in towed positions and on self-propelled vehicles (including the Sd.Kfz. 7/1, Flakpanzer IV "Wirbelwind") as well as Kriegsmarine vessels. Its period of operation extended from 1939 to 1945.
