This mobile anti aircraft tool was made for the German military in 1943 to give battlefield protection with regards to their forces at the mercy of sustained attack by enemy planes. The vehicle was developed, based on the 38T tank chassis, of Czechoslovakian origin already commonly used once the foundation for reconnaissance and mobile artillery units. The Gepard carried a 2cm cannon, FLAK 38 and although well armed couldn't alone deliver the quantity of fire needed seriously to protect an area under attack and so it absolutely was necessary to deploy them in teams for effective defence. Total manufacturing amounted to 140 before make ceased in early 1944.
