...1:52...The 8.8 cm Flak 18/36/37/41 is a German 88 mm anti-aircraft and anti-tank artillery gun, developed in the 1930s. It was widely used by Germany throughout World War II and is one of the most recognized German weapons of the conflict. The gun was universally known as the Acht-acht ("eight-eight") by the Germans and the "eighty-eight" by the Allies. Due to its lethality, especially as a tank killer, the eighty-eight was greatly feared by Allied soldiers.
Yes, the 88 was an incredible gun! This is the larger 10.5 however, heavier version. I thought it was an 88 too. The 3.7" Vickers QF was the British version, which my grandfather used.
@@Codbotherer That 88 mm GUN was used on the Tiger1 and King Tiger (2), and could penetrate the frontal armor of the T34 from a great distance. In WWI (1914-1918), my grandfather shot on the heavy machine gun MAKSIM, on the Thessaloniki Front, for the Austro-Hungarian army.
There are a lot of interesting weapons inside the Kalemegdan fortress but they are a little bit neglected. This collection needs more protection against weather and vandalism.
Thank you. Yes, I saw that T34 and told my girlfriend all about it and how it was possibly the best tank of the war...but there were a romantic couple on the turret so I didn't really film it 🤣
6:49 probably the rarest tank of WW2: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ItsAYr33PiI.html. Nice vid btw, but it wouldn't hurt if you knew a bit more about those vehicles...
The majority of these are new to me, I only have a very basic knowledge of tanks (but love Panzer IV and Panther). Now, WW2 aircraft I'm VERY knowledgeable on, I'm more interested in the airwar despite an infantry background.
@@Codbotherer I understand. Anyway it is a nice collection, too bad some of those vehicles are in relatively bad condition and I don't understand what they wanted to achieve with those camo paints...
@@Codbotherer I'm talking that negligence is a serbian virtue. They are the same as russians- loads of monuments and nobody takes care of them. Shame really.
