About the Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind:

The Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind was a German self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle developed during the later stages of World War II. It was designed to protect armored units from increasing Allied air attacks. Built on the reliable Panzer IV chassis, it featured a distinctive nine-sided open turret housing a quadruple 20 mm anti-aircraft gun.
