German Freikorps Assault Gun (Sturmkanone) Ehrhardt-Henschel 7,62-cm L-30 K-Flak 17. Berlin 1919.


Assault Gun (Sturmkanone) belonging to the German Freikorps in Berlin in 1919:

Ehrhardt-Henschel 7,62-cm L/30 (russ. 02) K-Flak 17 


This as efficient as little-known German system of self-propelled anti-aircraft weapons of the First World War (50 models were manufactured in 1917), was used in the German Civil War as assault guns and not as self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

  The Russian 76.2-mm L/30 Putilov Field Guns M1902, were transformed by the Henschel Factory into anti-aircraft guns, as did the armament factories Rheinmetall and Krupp in different periods of the war. The vehicles on which said anti-aircraft guns were mounted were provided by the Ehrhardt Company.

Ehrhardt-Henschel 7,62-cm L/30 (russ. 02) K-Flak 17 

Este tan eficiente como poco conocido sistema alemán de armas antiaéreas autopropulsadas de la Primera Guerra Mundial (se fabricaron 50 modelos en 1917), fue utilizado en la Guerra Civil alemana como cañones de asalto y no como cañones antiaéreos autopropulsados.

Los cañones rusos de campaña de 76,2-mm L/30 Putilov M1902, fueron transformados por la Fábrica Henschel en cañones antiaéreos, como también lo hicieron las fábricas armamentísticas Rheinmetall y Krupp en diferentes periodos de la guerra. Los vehículos sobre los que se montaron dichos cañones antiaéreos los proporcionó la Compañía Ehrhardt.
