Hello steemins friends, today I will be talking a little about the origin of the Flak 88
For those who do not know, The flak 88 is a cannon, uses a 10 kg projectile that comes out with a speed of 900 meters per second having a range of up to 3000 meters, really terrifying. It is considered the Nazi Monster, which destroyed Aircraft and Allied Tanks.
The Flak 88 was designed as antiaircraft especially to protect the aerodromes. But this proved its effectiveness and versatility, which would also serve as a terrestrial weapon. Its weak but strong point at the same time, was that its effectiveness depended on the terrain, if that was in the open field it was extremely lethal. The Flak needed 8 men for its use and so that it could move they needed a half-track tractor.
This armament was devised by the Nazis and used in the Civil War by the Francoist army. It became the backbone of Germany from the first time it was used in Spain in the middle of the years 1936-1937.
La Flak was considered one of the most terrifying in its time. Stories said that this piece of artillery even made the camaraderie among the tankers disappear. It happened that in the hour they saw the Flak 88, since they only thought about saving their life. Passing like this to be of the most feared by their enemies. Then, it was on earth as it is in heaven. Finally, after the Treaty of Versailles, after the end of the war, Germany was forbidden to possess such weapons. ### Tell me in the comments that you thought and if you like me I will be talking more about this great weapon.
