Flames of War: Afrika Korps – 8.8cm Heavy AA Platoon
The German Army appreciated the heavy 8.8cm FlaK36 anti-aircraft gun as an
anti-tank gun. Its ability to knock out any tank at long range was far more
interesting to front-line soldiers than its ability to protect their supply
lines from Allied bombing raids. As a result, German divisions were often
accompanied by Luftwaffe (Air Force) heavy anti-aircraft batteries operating as
anti-tank guns. These units were so effective that Allied tank crews soon
started referring to any effective anti-tank gun as an ‘88’.
