German ( Flakzwilling ) 37mm Flak 43 anti- aircraft gun in camouflage surprising in Berlin in 1945

Flak 43 in BERLIN

Even when the 8.8cm Flak 18 was dug into a pit, its size and mass made it difficult to conceal and protect. The high mounting was necessary to achieve near
vertical firing elevations and allow for the gun's considerable recoil. This feature gave it a high profile, a liability for an antitank gun. The crewmen appear to
be trying to identify what they see through the mist.
