The Flakvierling 38 20mm AA carries four cannons firing rapid volley of heavy shells, capable of killing infantry and light vehicles. In addition, it can build two varieties of Anti-Aircraft weapons. The squad can construct both Barbed Wire and Sand Bags, like most other engineering squads. The fifth man is a sergeant, holding an MP44 Sturmgewehr which (strangely) behaves like a slightly better version of the Kar98k, being a bit more accurate and slightly more damaging (but otherwise a Kar98k in every sense). Four of these are armed with Kar98k bolt-action rifles, the standard-issue weapon of the Nazi German military. The Luftwaffe Ground Force squad consists of 5 men. The unit will travel automatically to the designated rally point. This ability costs 260 260, 5 5 to use, and will call in a single unit. Instead, they are called in using a Command Ability also called Luftwaffe Ground Forces, which is made available when the Command Upgrade ( also called Luftwaffe Ground Forces) is purchased from the Luftwaffe Tactics Command Tree. Luftwaffe Ground Forces are not constructed by any base structure.

As with most other anti-aircraft weapons in the game, these defenses are useful against ground units as well - in fact, very useful. These infantrymen belong to the Luftwaffe, the German air-corps, but are in fact responsible for constructing anti-aircraft defenses. The Luftwaffe Tactics doctrine is considered to be one of the more defensive Command Trees available to the Panzer Elite, not in the least because it allows recruiting teams of Luftwaffe Ground Forces.
