Brickskrieg - German 88mm Artillery

The German 88mm artillery, specifically the Flak 18, Flak 36, and Flak 37 models, was a versatile and powerful weapon extensively used by the German military during World War II. Initially designed as an anti-aircraft gun, the 88mm FlaK proved highly effective against ground targets, particularly armored vehicles. Its adaptability led to its deployment in various roles, including anti-tank, anti-aircraft, and anti-personnel duties. The 88mm FlaK had a long barrel and a sophisticated firing mechanism, providing both accuracy and range. Its success as an anti-tank gun, particularly in the anti-aircraft/anti-tank role, earned it a fearsome reputation. The 88mm FlaK became one of the most iconic and lethal artillery pieces of the war.
