Between 87 and 105 Wirbelwinds were produced between July and Nov 1944. They were mounted on Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf F and G chassis'.
The Panzer IV's turret was removed and replaced with an open-top, nine-sided turret that housed a 2 cm Flakvierling 38, a quadruple mount of 20 mm cannon.

Much smaller production run than I would have guessed.
