Triple 20mm anti-aircraft mounting on the banks of the Rhine, 25 March 1945.
Looks like this one was truck-mounted:

I think this is another truck mounted one: "A British triple 20mm anti-aircraft gun position guards the Bailey Bridge at Arnhem, 18 April 1945."

IWM H 31130.jpg Source: https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/i...ject/205199053 And another tank chassis mounted one: "Crusader AA tank mounting a triple Oerlikon gun in a hull-down position, 19 July 1944." Note that these guns are often erroneously called Oerlikons - why would that be? IWM B 7738.jpg Source: https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/i...ject/205206079
