Class 19 - Auto Cannon - this operates exactly like any other auto cannon, but it has limited AAA capabilities against lower flying planes and helicopters. Thus, this reflects the mounting, rather than the weapon - it is possible to have say 2 14.5mm or 20mm cannon with the same stats, but one will be class 19, the other typically class 5. The difference here is that the class 19 version represents a high angle high traverse rate type mounting, but the class 5 version would be in a low elevation, low traverse turret mainly intended for anti APC work.
It is a weapon class designed really for use in MBT, that was carried over when MBT was converted to WW2 way back. It's meant for usage on post war APCs really. It is not a dedicated flak mount. It will pop off at strafing planes occasionally, and ditto helicopters - which dont much feature in WW2.

That one German scout car is likely the only thing in WW2 that actually could be a contender for the use of weapon class 19 that I can think of.
