NotesAnother version of the Sd.Kfz 7 was the 7/2. This was similar to the 7/1 except for the main armament with this version mounting a single 37mm FlaK 36. It had all the same features as the 7/1 and some were fitted with a similar armoured cab. It was issued to divisional anti-aircraft battalions and saw action on all fronts.
