Starting in 1942, the 5-ton Zugkraftwagen was superseded by the 8-ton Zugkraftwagen as the self-propelled mount for the 3.7cm Flak. The 3.7cm Flak 36 was replaced by the 3.7cm Flak, and then by the 3.7cm Flak toward the end of 1944. Starting in 1943, an armor radiator shield and crew cab were introduced as protection against shell fragments and small-arms fire. Production of the Sd.Kfz.7/2 began in 1942 and continued until the end of the war, with about 1,000 units produced by the end of January 1945. Initially, there were nine Sd.Kfz.7/2 in each Flak-Kompanie or Batterie, which increased to 12 in October 1943.
