Place of Origin

The place of origin is specified with "Nazi Germany". This is just a slang term. The proper name should be Third Reich.--92.78.72.149 (talk) 13:51, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, the use of "Third Reich" is also not correct, although it is superior to "Nazi Germany". However, at the time of the introduction of the FlaK-30, the use of "Third Reich" was not in use. What's wrong with "Germany"? Ranya (talk) 05:42, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

cartridge information incorrect

The article says the gun uses the Rheinmetall MK20 Rh202 "shell". This is incorrect for three reasons: (1) Rheinmetall MK20 Rh202 is a gun not a type of ammunition, (2) the cartridge used by the Rheinmetall MK20 Rh202 (20x139) is different from that used by the FlaK 30 (20x138B), (3) it's not a "shell" its a "cartridge".

Similarly "calibre" is 20 mm not "20 x 139 mm" as the article says, which is wrong for two reasons.

So I'm editting the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cabalamat (talk • contribs) 06:13, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2 cm Flakvierling 38 independent page

I suggest that the 2 cm Flakvierling 38 section could be in separate page, because it will be more user-friendly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ibericus Lusitanus (talk • contribs) 22:29, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2 cm Flakvierling 38 width and height are same as 2 cm Flak 30 - unlikely. Looks like cut and paste of same info —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79amuel (talk • contribs) 08:49, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. specifications

U.S. data is at http://www.lonesentry.com/ordnance/tag/flak-38 - does not agree with all the values given here. U.S. war data may be wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottadamthompson (talk • contribs) 00:39, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Skink anti-aircraft tank

The Canadian army introduced the Skink anti-aircraft tank, a converted Grizzly I cruiser tank with quad mount 20 mm Polsten cannon. By 1945, the lack of threat from the Luftwaffe halted production after only seven tanks were converted and only three saw action. Reportedly they were mostly used to flush out snipers or MGs.184.66.110.161 (talk) 23:38, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Opening Paragraph use of Flugabwehrkanone

I have never seen the term "" employed in any original written German source, nor in any reliable translation. I have seen it used in some online sources, inconsistently (niehorster).

Therefore, I believe this needs changing to the term used by the HeersFlaKArtillerie, "FliegerabwehrKanone (FlaK)".

Although there is a German construction using flugzeug for aeroplane, I am not familiar with "FlugabwehrKanone" (which would literally mean "fly antiaircraft cannon"). The Luftwaffe used "Bordkannone" for heavy automatic cannon mounted aboard its Zerstörer for anti-bomber missions (the BK.37, BK.50, and BK.75, for example).

If the term is believed accurate, please provide an original source in German for verification.

Thanks! Ranya (talk) 05:37, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
