History: The Sd.Kfz.7 was a versatile German half-track first developed in the early 1930s to tow heavy artillery such as the 88mm FlaK gun. The Sd.Kfz.7/1 variant mounted a Flakvierling 38 quadruple 20mm cannon, making it highly effective against low-flying aircraft and light ground targets. Around 1,200 Sd.Kfz.7 vehicles were built before the war’s end, with the 7/1 variant serving on all major fronts, including in defensive roles during the later stages of the conflict.
