The 88mm antiaircraft Flugabwehrkanone (Flak) was one of the major
successful cannons of the Second World War. The Luftwaffe deployed it as
German territory defense against enemy air raids, while the Wermacht
inside the artillery antiaircraft divisions. Every Wermacht division has
equipped with 8 88mm and 12 20mm units. General Rommel was one of the
first ones to use the Flak 88 during the May 1940 France campaign in a
different role compared to its original design purposes. The Flak 88
became the most famous and feared antitank cannon in force with the Axis
tropes in the Second World War. During the defense of Halfaya Pass in
Northern Africa, in a few minutes, a single Wermacht Flak 88 battery
destroyed 11 of the 12 English tanks sent against the German’s
positions. The pass became well known in-between the English tank man as
Hellfire pass. The Flak 88 was in force throughout the end of the war on
all fronts with its double antiaircraft and antitank role.
