German Heer (winter) 8.8cm Flak 37

This artillery piece is supplied with a laser-cut oval MDF base (170mm x 105mm), available exclusively through this webstore. Originally developed as an anti-aircraft weapon, the 8.8cm Flak 37—known as the “Eighty-eight” by Allied troops—had a high muzzle velocity, making it an exceptionally deadly anti-tank gun, as many Allied tank crews learned to their peril. The 88 could also be deployed as a conventional artillery piece; as one infantryman noted, it was truly “anti-everything.”
