Historique

Si l’Allemagne a l’interdiction de construire des canons lourds en 1919 à la suite du Traité de Versailles, l’arrivée au pouvoir d’Hitler change entièrement la donne. Celui-ci donne immédiatement l’ordre de construire des canons antichars performants.

L’Allemagne, par l’intermédiaire de l’usine d’armement Krupp, met ainsi au point un canon anti-aérien de 88 millimètres qui est livré dès l’année 1933 : c’est le fameux Flak 18. Très performant et doté d’une cadence de tir impressionnante (jusqu’à douze coups par minute), le modèle est alors conçu dans une version antichar : il devient alors le redoutable “88” qui se révèle très rapidement comme l’un des meilleurs canons antichars de toute la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

History

If Germany was banned from building heavy guns in 1919 following the Treaty of Versailles, Hitler's coming to power completely changed the situation. He immediately gave the order to build high-performance anti-tank guns.

Germany, through the Krupp arms factory, developed an 88 millimeter anti-aircraft gun which was delivered in 1933: it was the famous Flak 18. Very efficient and equipped with an impressive rate of fire (up to twelve rounds per minute), the model was then designed in an anti-tank version: it then became the formidable “88” which very quickly revealed itself as one of the best anti-tank guns of all time. the Second World War.
