The 2 cm Flak 30 in operation during the Norwegian Campaign |
In 1934 the weapon was introduced into the German Luftwaffe in order to replace the anti-aircraft machine-gun MG C30. Its purpose was to provide some defence capabilities to anti-aircraft artillery units against low flying aircrafts. For the same reason it was also introduced into army units. The gun was first seen in action within the Spanish civil war in 1936. There it was very successfully used during the battle of Bilabao, where the republican positions were destroyed by it. The 2-cm-Flak 30 was also mounted on the half tracked 1 ton vehicle (Sd.Kfz. 10). |
