Panzer IV with 8,8CM FlaK ?

[Darek Piotrowski]

Did exist the vehicle which you can see in a photo ? Whether it can only underbody "Panzer IV" and being behind it canon "8.8 cm "? Perhaps exist some different photographs of this vehicle ?

Indeed those are the remains of a Panzer IV but the flak is behind it not on it
is just the angle of the picture makes it look like is on top of it.

flak is behind it not on it

And you know this how?

It could be Grille 10

I agree, the person seems too small to be on the tank.

Look at the shadows.

No, look at the road wheels.

I have seen photos, in Chamberlain's Encyclopedia I believe, of a modified PzIV chassis (elongated) with an 88 FlaK on it. I can't recall the specifications on it, though.

Interesting pictures, and certainly a PZ 1V chassis. Could be a field modification or a test vehicle. The vehicle in Encyclopedia of German Tanks (3 prototypes) is the 88mm Flak auf Sonderfahrgestell.

This was a Flak 37 or a Flak 41 mounted on a revised Pz 1V chassis with adapted interleaved suspension and a revised nose. Deffinatly not what is show in the pictures. Thanks for posting.
