A brief history of the Flakpanzer Ostwind vehicle

The Flakpanzer Ostwind is a German self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle based on the chassis of the famous Panzer IV tank. It was introduced into service in the second half of World War II, mainly in the years 1944-1945. A distinctive feature of the Ostwind was its open, hexagonal turret armed with the effective 37 mm Flak 43 automatic cannon. This vehicle served in front-line Waffen-SS and Wehrmacht divisions, providing protection against Allied air attacks as well as fire support for armored units. It was most often used on the Western Front, especially during fighting in France and Germany.
