FLAK Crew

[dennisb]

I wanted to know which functions there were for 2cm 30 FLAK gun. You had a 'Geschützführer'. What else?
I own a document that stated under 'Funktion': H (or K) 1 - 4. What function was this for a crewman of a 2cm 30 FLAK gun?

I am sure there are some handbooks regarding FLAK crews etc.
Anybody who knows some good books about the different FLAK guns and their crew etc.?


Thanks in advance!

the relevant handbook for the flak 30 and 38 will have the jobs of the gun numbers, i don't know if the German was any similar to the British, but in the British army the Nr.1 is the detachment commander.

I would read it as he was trained to carry out the functions of gun numbers K1 through to 4. Amongst these will be aimer, loader, ammunition number at the least.
