Wirlbelwind in the Czechoslovak army
One unfinished platform Pz.Kpfw. IV found in 1945 at the railway station in Košt'any was to undergo repairs at ČKD Praha-Libeň. It was an unfinished Wirbelwind anti-aircraft tank platform. The platform, marked with the utility number 323/D, was given the Czechoslovak military registration number 79.867 upon completion. The vehicle was handed over to the Tank Apprenticeship Test Section in , but testing did not begin until the section was disbanded in 1950. The intention to repair other stored captured anti-aircraft tanks was also abandoned. The vehicle was disbanded by decree of the MNO on 27 May 1950. The turret was handed over for scrapping, the 2 cm gun Flakvierling 38 ended up in the armoury in Pilsen. The chassis were still registered for some time at the Tank Apprenticeship. They were sent to his garrison in Vyškov, where they were still registered in 9/1950.
