Hello,

I'm looking for some pictures of the flak 88 used in the ground roll late in the war in Berlin. These would have an odd looking base. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sam

I thought the FlaK towers were outfitted with big twin 128mm's

Juul,

That's the type of base I'm looking for. Look here http://www.network54.com/Hide/Forum/message?forumid=47207&messageid=1078844654 for another one. The outriggers (arms) can be moved to the right or left instead of the normal up & down as seen on the regular base.

Thanks,
Sam

Sam,
No photos, sorry. However, hit the link below. At the bottom of the page are a bunch of reference sources you might try.

HTH,

Shaun
