German Artillery

8,8 Flugabwehrkanone 36

These were captured in Tunesia. The barrel consisted of 3 parts for ease of replacement when one section would wear out. Average crew could manage 15 rounds/minut,a well trained crew up to 20 rounds. As early as the Spanish Civil War did German officers recognise the potential of the 88 as a antitank gun. The vicious' crack' of an 88 firing was a sound that all sides learned to fear very quick.
