About the Fla-MG151/20 Drillingslafette on Sd.Anh.Ost:

The triple MG 151/20 (Drilling) was one of the most effective light anti-aircraft systems used by the Wehrmacht. Originally developed as an aircraft weapon, the 20 mm MG 151 was adapted for ground use in single, twin and triple configurations. Mounted on trailers or half-tracks, it provided mobile air defense for German units and was also effective against light vehicles and infantry. The combination of a light tractor and the Sd.Anh.Ost trailer created a fast-deploying, powerful AA system for the final stages of the war.
