German 7,7-cm L/35 Wagenflak (fran 97) Rheinmetall. Tell el Sheria, Palestine 1917.

(German Anti-Aircraft Gun System, WWI)

German 7,7 cm L/35 Wagen-Flak (fran 97) Rheinmetall, 1915

View of one of the two pieces of 7.7-cm L/35 (f) that made up the Wagenflak Battery for the East.

Tell the Sheria, Palestine 1917

TheseAs a curiosity we will add that for the displacements of the Battery in Palestine, shot of bullocks were used. They were formed by 4 or 5 pairs of oxen for the drag of each of the two Flak cars that made up the Battery.

French 7,5-cm L/35 Field Gun Mle.1897, captured by the Germans and transformed at Anti-Aircraft Gun Cart (Wagenflak) by Rheinmetall in 1915.

Rheinmetall transformed and manufactured 26 Wagen-Flak. These cars carried, indistinctly, transformed cannons of Russian or French origin.

Como curiosidad añadiremos que para los desplazamientos de la Batería en Palestina, se utilizaban reatas o tiros de bueyes. Éstas estaban formadas por 4 o 5 parejas de bueyes para el arrastre de cada uno de los dos carros Flak que componían la Batería.

Rheinmetall tranformó y fabricó 26 Wagen-Flak. Estos carros portaban, indistintamente, cañones transformados de orígen ruso o francés.
