Описание: The 88mm FlaK gun, known to the Allies as the ‘88’, is one of the most recognisable weapons of WW2. Some 21,310 of all models were produced between 1933 and 1945. FlaK is an abbreviated version of Flugabwehrkanone, which translates as ‘Aircraft Defence Cannon’, although it was also an effective anti-tank gun. This example, complete with shield, was one of three knocked-out by Allied aircraft in August 1944 whilst located at Bois de la Pierre near Crulai. It was initially recovered by a local company for its scrap value and turn-table, but was rescued during the 1970s by Michel Leloup, the founder of this collection.
