The 3.7 cm Flak 18\/36\/37\/43 was a series of anti-aircraft cannon produced by Germany that saw widespread service in the Second World War.  The cannon was fully automatic and effective against aircraft flying at altitudes up to 4,200 m. The cannon was produced in both towed and self-propelled versions. Having a flexible doctrine, the Germans used their anti-aircraft pieces in ground support roles as well; 37 mm caliber guns were no exception to that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an outstanding and scarce example of the anti-aircraft aiming scope for the 3.7cm Flak 37.
