The 2 cm FlaK 38 was one of the Wehrmacht's most important light anti-aircraft guns, introduced in 1939 as the successor to the FlaK 30. Compared to its predecessor, it featured a higher rate of fire, improved reliability, and simplified operation. It fired powerful 20 × 138 mm B-type ammunition and was primarily intended for engaging low-flying aircraft, though it was equally effective against infantry, unarmored vehicles, and lightly armored targets.

For transport, the FlaK 38 was mounted on the single-axle Sonderanhänger 51 (Sd.Ah. 51) trailer. Its compact design also made it ideally suited for mounting on various self-propelled carriages and vehicles. Notable carrier vehicles included the Sd.Kfz. 10/5, the Sd.Kfz. 3b (Maultier), the Sd.Kfz. 251/17, and the Flakpanzer 38(t). Twin and quadruple mountings were also developed; their high volume of fire made them particularly effective against low-flying aircraft.

Thanks to its high mobility, rapid rate of fire, and versatility, the 2 cm FlaK 38 remained one of the German armed forces' most widely used light anti-aircraft guns until the end of the war, proving its worth on almost every theater of operations during World War II.
