88MM Flak 36 Multi-Purpose Gun
Germany WWII
The famed German "88" was designated as an anti-aircraft weapon during World War I. During the 1930’s the design was updated as the 88mm Flak 18 and further improved with subsequent models in later years.
Although successful is the anti-aircraft role, the gun achieved its greatest recognition as a tank killer. It served on every European front from 1910 onwards in both capacities causing devastating losses whenever employed. In addition, it was used for long range bombardment, assault preparation and support, as well as indirect fire. This was a formidable gun possessing high velocity, rapid fire and accuracy.
The cariage was provided with two outriggers for stability when firing in traverses other than directly front or rear. Fire control instruments provided data for anti-aircraft and indirect fire. Gunners employed direct laying for anti-tank fire.
