Vehicle history and combat use

The Mobelwagen (full name: Flakpanzer IV "Möbelwagen" 3.7cm Flak auf Fahrgestell Panzerkampfwagen IV (Sf)) was developed in Germany in response to the increasing losses suffered by the Wehrmacht due to Allied air attacks. Produced from 1944, it was used mainly on the Western Fronts, especially during the Normandy campaign and in the defense of the Reich in 1944–1945. The name “Möbelwagen” (“furniture van”) came from its characteristic foldable side armor plates, which in the transport position resembled transport boxes.
