The Germans used a number of type designations for their weapons. Each section is headed by the official name for the weapon type along with its usual abbreviated form in parenthesis, followed by the weapons using the designation in series number order. Usually, the type designation and series number (i.e. FlaK 30) are sufficient to identify a system, but occasionally multiple systems of the same type are developed at the same time and share a designation, at which point one must reference the calibre to differentiate.
