The Sd. Kfz. 140 Flakpanzer 38 "Gepard" anti-aircraft tank was developed during World War II on the chassis of the Czechoslovak Panzer 38(t) light tank.
Its mission was to provide the Wehrmacht with an effective means of protecting armored units and columns from air attack.
The mechanical reliability and maneuverability of the 38(t) chassis served as the technical basis for mounting a 2 cm Flak 38 anti-aircraft gun on a rotating, shielded platform to protect the crew. The main weapon was frequently used not only against aircraft, but also to attack fixed positions and support ground troops.
Over time, the Gepard's anti-aircraft role was gradually supplemented by other systems with greater firepower, such as the Wirbelwind and Ostwind.
