The 88 mm gun (eighty-eight) is a German anti-aircraft and anti-tank artillery gun from World War II. They were widely used throughout the war, and could be found on almost every battlefield. Developments of the original models led to a wide variety of guns. The name applies to a series of anti- aircraft guns officially called the 8,8 cm FlaK 18, 36 or 37. FlaK is a German contraction of either Flugzeugabwehr- Kanone or Flugabwehr-Kanone (hence the capital K) meaning anti-aircraft gun, the original purpose of the eighty- eight. In informal German use, the guns were universally known as the Acht-acht (8-8), a contraction of Acht-komma- acht Zentimeter (German: "8,8 cm" - comma being used as the decimal separator in German). The name could also describe newer and more powerful models, the FlaK 41 and 43, although these were different weapons. Compared to the British QF 3.7 inch AA gun or United States 90 mm gun models, the 88 was built in very large numbers, and when doubled in theanti-tank role, it was mounted on a versatile base from which it could be fired without unlimbering.
