The 88 mm Flak 18 was a Swedish designed (by Krupp engineers at the Bofors factory) German 88 mm anti-aircraft gun adopted in 1933. The original Flak 18 had a one-piece barrel, this was changed to a three-piece barrel and given the designation 88 mm Flak 36, a later modification was designated the 88 mm Flak 37. The 88 mm Flak 18 fired a 9.4 kg high-explosive shell to an effective ceiling of 8000 meters at a muzzle velocity of 820 meters-per-second. During the Second World War they were also used as very effective anti-tank guns.
