Judging by the man in the picture, I would look for these “secret tests” somewhere really close to a tennis court.
Germans Try Out Mystery Gun
The novel one-man antiaircraft gun seen in the photograph below is now being tested secretly by German army experts. The gunner, seated behind the barrel, controls the gun accurately and rapidly by means of foot pedals and hand levers, according to reports.

So, gun controlled by pedals. And there was something mystic about it?

So if it was SO secret why where there pictures of a tennis player having fun with it in an American magazine? I believe that is a PAK40.
