The 8.8 cm German cannon, commonly called "88", is one of the most emblematic weapons of the Second World War. Initially designed as an antiaircraft gun, it quickly became extremely effective against enemy creatures. Its versatility, fire power and precision have made it an unbeatable antiaircraft gun. Used on different fronts, it was able to penetrate the blind spots of allied forces at long distances, playing a crucial role in the tactical success of the German army. The "88" became a symbol of German military power, reduced and respected by the adverse forces.
