It was a powerful gun, but the experience of the German army led to innovation in its use. The British were married to the idea of a tank-on-tank battle, viewing AT guns as defensive tools, while the Germans were using them to wipe out British armoured forces. 🧵2/2

The German 8.8 cm Flak gun was made to target aircraft. First used against tanks during the Spanish Civil War, its success as an anti-tank weapon in North Africa is where it finds its fame. 🧵1/2

@gavcoEBT1978 That's the plan :-) More info here - tankmuseum.org/support-us/ktv…

@TankMuseum Is she getting restored to full running order?

Why restore the King Tiger V2? 👑🐯 It is a unique vehicle. Not only is it the oldest King Tiger tank, it’s also the only one to survive with the pre-production turret. 🧡 We need YOUR help to bring KT V2 back to life! MORE: tankmuseum.org/article/ktv2-p…
