The German 88 mm flat-trajectory gun, which brought down thousands of bombers and tens of thousands of soldiers. The Allies had nothing as good.
The Flak 88 was one of the most successful weapons of WW2.
Used for…
Anti – Air Craft – 1000’s of Allied Bombers were shot down from the 88 Flak
Anti – Tank – 1000’s of Allied Tanks (American, French, British, Russian) were destroyed by the 88 Flak
An American tanker who survived losing three tanks wrote to Chrysler after V-E Day that “an 88 sure makes quick work of them. They go through them just like they were a piece of paper”.
Surviving Ammunition was located…. melted down….. and this unique timepiece was created….. only 88 ever made
