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 anti-aircraft gun, it quickly became extremely effective against enemy creatures. Its versatility, fire power and precision have made it an unbeatable anti-aircraft 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.
