Die 8,8 Flak im Erdkampf-Einsatz - Buch

The dry bang of the German 8.8 cm general-purpose gun rumbled on all fronts of the Second World War. Originally intended as an anti-aircraft weapon, the "Eight-Eight" became one of the most effective melee weapons against tanks, bunkers, artillery, and even ships. In the field of heavy anti-aircraft guns, the gun came in ever-improving form as a 8.8 cm Flak 18, 36, 37, 41 and 37/41 to the troop. Janusz Piekalkiewicz introduces in this documentary documentation the "Eight-Eight" in its varieties in the ground combat mission. Around 230 illustrations illuminate the everyday life of the Flakkanoniere and familiarize the reader with the intricate operation of the gun. For example, the in-position of a battery and the individual phases are displayed systematically until they are ready for use. An enthralling technical and historical documentation.
