The gun used the barrel of the older Flak 18, in a new fit and on a simple single-axis chassis. It entered service in 1936 and was widely used (along with the Flak 37 version) throughout World War II, being used both as a towed and stationary gun (in PL batteries protecting the Reich) and as part of self-propelled anti-aircraft assets. (Figures apply to the towed version) The Flak 36 and Flak 37 versions differed from each other in the use of the sight, the Flak 36 used the Flakvisier 35 or 36, the Flak 37 used the Zeiss Flakvisier 37 with mechanical fire correction counting.

I'll add some photos from my collection, one is from the museum in Bayeux, the others are from the original display in the Kbel Air Museum.

Is it really the 37mm Flak 36/37 (I don't know which one because I can't make out the sight Smile , especially since there is no Smile , unfortunately all the photos show the cannon without the shield that later versions of this weapon had, in Russia they were quite often used to fire at ground targets (against infantry and armoured targets) they used the "Stielgranate 41" supercalibre cartridge, similar to the PAK 36 of the same calibre (for this use, the silencer funnel at the end of the barrel had to be removed. Unfortunately, I don't have a photo with the cover in my archives (probably not standing anywhere in the museum).
