The German 88-mm (3.46-in) Flugabwehrkanone (flight defense cannon, or FlaK) gun is one of the most famous anti-aircraft and anti-tank guns in the world. It was an astounding success, and its successful use by publicity-seeking Wehrmacht General Erwin Rommel, the famous Desert Fox, did much to add to the legend. Highly accuerate and lethal it was produced in great numbers. It was defenetlly one of the most intimitating weapons of the war and specially dreaded by American tank crews in the western front.
