Brief Historical Description

The 10.5 cm SKC/33 anti-aircraft gun was developed in Germany in the late 1930s and served with the Kriegsmarine during World War II (1939-1945). This weapon was primarily used on large warships to combat aircraft and provide anti-aircraft defense to fleet units. The effectiveness and long range of this gun gave German ships superiority over many contemporary designs. Early-type barrels were used on the largest and most famous German warships operating in the Atlantic and European waters between 1939 and 1945.
