From an information panel on site:
Flak 38
The 20 mm Fliegeralewehrkanonen (Flak) gun replaced the Flak 30, used during the Spanish Civil War and the invasion of Poland, as Germany's standard light anti-aircraft weapon. It was also useful in support of infantry and occasionally as an anti-tank gun. The Flak 38 had a much higher rate of fire that its predecessor and was used in a variety of roles until the end of the war.
