The classification of the Sfl. Flak (Selbstfahrlafette, selfpropelled mount) proved difficult as limited numbers of official Luftwaffe documents have survived. We have identified at least three different special mountings for the 2cm Flakvierling 38 before the introduction of the normal Lafettendreieck platform. For a better understanding, we have identified these as Serie I, II and III in this publication. When the 3,7cm Flak 36 was introduced, the Serie II mount was adapted to carry this gun, then the Lafettendreieck was reintroduced and finally a 300mm riser was fitted. The first of the armoured cabs was constructed from individual plates riveted to an angle iron frame and finally the cab design was simplified by the use of larger bent plates. Chassis for the armoured Sfl. are different from a normal Zgkw. - the armoured cab was not just placed over the normal driving position; these chassis had an armoured firewall with the driver's dash board and controls attached to that.
