8.8 cm Flak 41

Post by Sturm78 » 06 Nov 2009, 22:10

Hi all,

I found this image on AXH Forum (Small Arms section). See http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... &start=615.

I think the gun is a 8.8 cm Flak 41 but I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm?
There are not many pictures of the 8.8 cm Flak 41 in action. Any other photo of this weapon in action will be welcome.

Hi all,

A blurry photo of abandoned anti-aircraft guns. I think they are 8.8cm Flak 41 although it is difficult to ensure.
Photos of this gun are very few :(

Cor Bilmey....2 days ago I was looking for a decent photo of a Flak 41 with its crew. I was going to do a drawing of one with crew for http://www.juniorgeneral.org/, could I find one that showed all three crew who had seats on the gun, 2 layers and fuse setter. Instead I drew a 10.5 cm FlaK 38 with crew :? Thanks Sturm for sharing the photo, I will now be able to do a FlaK 41 with crew :)

Hi all,

Some more images of a 8.8cm Flak 41. There are not many images of this gun.
