Description

This anti-aircraft self-propelled vehicle was built by the German army during 1943 to ensure the protection of its departments on the battlefield from ever heavier enemy air strikes. The vehicle was developed on the hull of the 38T tank, of Czechoslovak origin, already widely used as a base for a series of tankers and self-propelled artillery. The Gepard was armed with a 2 Cm cannon. model FLAK 38 which, despite being an excellent weapon, did not ensure the rate of fire necessary to defend the area under attack and thus obliged it to use these means in a group for an effective defense. The production totaled 140 specimens, before ceasing in the first months of 1944.
