The Flakpanzer I was a rare self propelled anti-aircraft gun conversion of the Panzer I in use by Nazi Germany during World War Two. It's designation was Sd.Kfz.101 (Special Purpose Vehicle 101).
It was modified from the Ausf. A version of the Panzer I, removing the twin MG34 turret and replacing it with a 20mm FlaK 38 rapid firing anti-aircraft gun. It was not produced widely, with only 24 vehicles in service by early 1941.
The last of these vehicles was lost at Stalingrad in January of 1943.
