 == History ==
-The Germans during the inter-war period shared some elements of their air doctrine with the France. The concept of the Motorkanone emerged in the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) which had an autocannon mounted between the cylinder banks of a V-engine and firing through the propeller hub. The [[Oerlikon FF (20 mm)|Oerlikon FF]] was preferred by France, but was too heavy for German fighters so they adopted it as the [[MG FF (20 mm)|MG FF]] only as a stopgap measure. In 1940, the MG 151 was developed by Mauser and used to arm the Messerschmidt [[Bf 109 F-2]], however, by 1941, the design was further improved into the [[MG 151 (20 mm)]] for a more powerful explosive shell. The MG 151 in its 15mm caliber was also used on the [[Do 335 (Family)|Dornier Do 335]] in underwing pods. The Leicht-S-Boot of the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) also uses the 15mm MG 151 as did the [[Sd.Kfz.251/21]] an attempt to provided an expedient anti-aircraft vehicle. This vehicle was quickly upgraded to the 20mm version. After World War II, the MG 151 saw some action in French service. This service was primarily the 20mm version, but the 15mm variant was planned for the [[AMX-50 Foch]].
