I don't recall them ever being standard on the VIIC/41; however, kaleuns had alot of discretion in regards to anti-aircraft armament. I see no reason it wouldn't/couldn't have replaced the flak cannon. Will keep an eye out for photos.

EDIT: I recently discovered that the boat I am building, Type VIIC/41 U-297, had the Flakveirling. No pics, unfortunately.
