Anyone know if the Sdkfz7/1 "flakvierling" was deployed to North Africa in 1941?

[wikidive] … Gun itself has an "in service" date of March 1940, so it's possible.

I will defer to the folks with a better reference library as to whether the flakvierling made it to Africa or not.

1941? I don't think so but there were lots of SdKfz10/4 and/or 10/5 with single barrel 20mm AA.
The 4 barrel version was definitely there with 10th Pz etc in Tunisia in 1943.

I've never seen a photo of one in North Africa, but not totally impossible.

I think 10 panzer had some in Tunisia. Prior to that I'm positive none were deployed.
