It is a conversion of the 3,7 cm Flak 43 to the new 37 mm calibre mummer, 4 prototypes were assembled and the first tests were not very encouraging. Tests continued until the end of the war. The designation that some authors believe was reserved for this weapon was Flak 45, but this is not confirmed from official sources.
