  3. Allen Says:

    Also a great antitank gun.

  4. KSGunner Says:

    8.8cm FLAK 36, rebuilt at the Italian Terni arsenal postwar. I also see the rear corner of an M8 or M20 Greyhound armored car and the front end of a PAK 40 amti tank gun.

    That WW2 infantryman is still looking for “The guy wot invented the 88”.

    Both Uncle Jim and Father-in-law Joe also wanted to find “the guy wot invented the 88.”

  7. comatus Says:

    My dad calls them “roof removers.” In the Eifel, all roofs are tile: slate on the German side, calf-tiles on the Belgian side. If an 88 shell hit anywhere near the town, every single roof immediately unloaded its contents into the street. His outfit had more casualties from roof tiles than from shrapnel or tree bursts.

  8. Huck Says:

    WWII GIs used to say that the German 88 converted more men to Christianity than Peter and Paul combined.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
