A Flak crew scrambles to man their gun.

Here is my one Flak artillerie uniform. I have a really cool postcard somewhere. I will share as soon as I can find the pic.

Love that tunic Paul, makes a super display!

Thank you. I hope that I did not shatter the theme too much, as I know your focus is on the equipment photos. Here is a cool photo I have... I wonder what they have on the train..?

Wonderful pictures all around, thanks for the posting

Tony,

Glad to hear you are enjoying these...there is a lot more to come,

 

Paul,

Thanks for your post in # 29. That is an emblem I have not seen before and I feel

sure it is for a FLAK TRAIN armed with 8.8 cm guns. Very, very nice!!!

All the best,

Mike

Here is a shot of a 2.cm Flak gun engaging Partisans in Southern France maybe?

 

A 8.8cm Flak gun captured in North Africa has been shipped to Aberdeen Proving ground. In this photo

a comparison evaluation to the U.S. 90mm AA gun is conducted, 1942.

An 8.8 cm Flak gun with crew has been positioned in a large field. Behind the gun a monument can be seen. France? Germany?

Comments more than welcomed.

Thanks for posting AB45. Shame they letting this piece sit out in the elements. :(

Reminds me of the old APG here in the States.

Shown here is the cover of a 1943 U.S. Manual on German Antiaircraft Artillery.

I'm only going to show a few excepts from this manual as most of the photos

are of very poor quality and much of the information is dated.
