Horsh 2cm FLAK column of Hermann Goering (HG) regiment in 1941, with armor shields removed to reduce vehicle
silhouette, FLAK guns covered by tarpin to prevent road dust impairing gun mechanism.

Rollover : Close-up of FLAK PKW, lacking spare wheel and FLAK gun shield removed. Since HG regiment was controlled by Luftwaffe, complicated chain of command existed since they were Air Force ground troops that served within Army formations. Due to political sensitivities and influence of Nazi party, Army commands to HG units have to be routed to formal Luftwaffe HQ channels before being disseminated to men in the field.
