Product Description
When World War I broke out, the German Empire had already been motorizing its army for nearly 15 years, but had not yet succeeded in designing or producing tactical military vehicles, and was forced to enter the war with an inadequate fleet of military vehicles, consisting of requisitioned civilian rear-wheel drive trucks, cars, and motorcycles.
However, there was one important exception.
It was realized early on that a specially designed four-wheel drive transport vehicle would be essential for the mechanization of anti-aircraft artillery.
This book is the first detailed document on the motorized anti-aircraft balloon guns of the German Empire [Kraftwagen Flak].
The exhibition features a wealth of photographs from that time, tracing the history of the tank from the pre-war prototype stage through its deployment in combat during the war, and even through its use in the German Volunteer Corps and the Weimar Republic Army after the war.
Separate chapters will also cover the car-towed trailer-mounted version [Kraftwagen Zugflak] and the tracked transporter-mounted version [Laupenflak].
