The Rheinmetall Model 1939 37-mm Flak was an anti-aircraft gun produced by Rheinmetall specifically for export. It was used by the Greek, Romanian and Dutch armies and possibly by the Chinese as well. This gun was not adopted for use by the Wehrmacht during World War II. Any use by them would've been of captured guns. Production numbers are not known.
