Anti aircraft armament needed better splinter protection according to the Dutch magazine Marineblad dated 1938 no. 7

An item referred to the Marine Rundschau dated October 1938 which published an article of the German korvettenkapitän Hülsemann dealing with the protection of the (light) anti aircraft armament. He pointed out that the anti aircraft armament, especially the smaller part, usually hardly was protected against splinters.
