The 8.8cm FlaK 36 - the infamous 'eighty-eight' - was a German anti-aircraft and anti-tank gun widely used throughout the war and it could be found on almost every battlefield. Developments of the original models led to a wide variety of guns that could be identified as an 'eighty-eight', and whilst in general terms the gun was less capable in the anti-aircraft role than the British QF 3.7 inch AA gun or United States 90 mm gun models the eighty-eight was built in very large numbers and was mounted on a versatile mounting from which it could be fired without unlimbering. Its success as an improvised anti-tank gun led to a separate line of guns for anti-tank use and later models were capable of penetrating the frontal armour of any tank of the period at ranges over 1000 m.
