Widely used throughout the war, it was one of Germany's most recognised weapons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Flak' is a contraction of Flugzeugabwehrkanone, 'aircraft-defence cannon'. In English, 'flak' became a generic term for ground anti-aircraft fire. The Germans colloquially referred to the gun as the Acht-acht ('Eight-eight'). The 8.8 cm FlaK37 was the final development of the Eighty-eight produced by Krupp. Weighing 7 tonnes, it could fire 15-20 rounds per minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as its intended use in the anti-aircraft role, the 88 was also very successful as an improvised anti-tank gun, leading to the development of a tank gun based upon it: the 8.8 cm KwK 36.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oil Barons Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48494978138367,"sku":"BFGBX86","price":49.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/4678\/5791\/files\/BFGBX86.jpg?v=1778222605","url":"https:\/\/www.oilbaronsgames.com\/products\/flames-of-war-german-twin-8-8cm-flak-railway-car","provider":"Oil Barons Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
