Re: Late Flak 8,8 cm pictures
Hi Sam B,
"I had never seen pictures of a late 8.8cm Flak with a stationary base and without the typical folding cruciform legs.
The trailer was the same Sd.Ah. 202 of 8.8 cm Flak36-37 or another?
There is something I do not understand: For what to make a static version of the 8.8 cm Flak and then put it on a trailer to move it if there was already a mobile version?" See http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... 7&t=152254
Well, I had not thought of that possibility.

Re: Late Flak 88 pictures
simply because when the armies move back they try to recover their static material, the Behfeleslafette was created for that.There is something I do not understand: For what to make a static version of the 8.8cm Flak and then put it on a trailer to move it if there was already a mobile version?"

Re: Late Flak 88 pictures
Hi all,
A photo and a question more: Was the trailer to carry the static version of the 8.8cm Flak same as the 8.8cm Flak 36-37 (Sd.Ah. 202) ?
I think not. Had any specific name?

Re: Late Flak 88 pictures
Yes, it had - Sd.Ah. 204. It basically looks like the 202, but has single wheels and no cable reels. I cannot remember any converted static gun on the Sd.Ah. 202, all I've seen were on the 204.
But for me, the most interesting thing in many of these converted ortsfest guns (e.g. in the last picture) is their fuse setter. A very simple device for one horizontally placed cartridge, not the usual bulky Zünderstellmaschine 37.

Grzesio
PS By the way, Jopaerya's picture does not show a converted gun. It's a usual static gun in travelling configuration on the Fahrgerüst für schwere Flak carriage.

Re: Late Flak 88 pictures
Hi Grzesio
Thanks for that interesting information a Fahrgerüst für schwere Flak , I allways wondered were the 2 short steel U beams on the gun mount were for , but that should be the reason to fix on both sides the Fahrgerüst für schwere Flak on this way they could placed and lower the gun in the emplacement on the bolds .
The mount for the 12,8 cm Flak 40 M has also these short steel U beams for the Fahrgerüst für schwere Flak .
Photo = Erik Ettrup
Regards Jos
P.S. on the photo left beside the red circle the other steel U beam on the other side .

Re: Late Flak 88 pictures
Thanks for your information, Grzesio.
According to this link http://www.kfzderwehrmacht.de/Homepage_ ... ilers.html
the Sd.Ah. 204 was used to tow the 5cm Flak 41, the 200cm Flaksheinwerfer, the Maschinensatz 125V 60kW and the Sperrballonwinde. Do not mention anything about the static version of the 8.8cm Flak but .... it may be an oversight.
Could the Sd.Ah. 204 support the weight of a 8.8cm static Flak (4985kg less the weight of folding legs)?
The 5cm Flak 41 weighed 3100kg.

Re: Late Flak 88 pictures
Sd.Ah. 204 had 4500 kg capacity, so it could obviously take a, 8,8 cm Flak 37/2 in a slightly overloaded status. I do not know the capacity of the Sd.Ah. 206.
Sadly, I cannot remember the weight of the static 8,8 cm Flak L/56 at the moment - but I've found it somewhere.
Such a complete Behelfslafettenkreuz of a converted static 8,8 cm Flak, together with one trailer bogie was found in Poland in 2004 - one just has to weight it.

Grzesio

Yep, the one from Zarnowiec (but it can be hardly called "near Gdansk" ).
