Its ability to knock out any tank at long range was far more interesting to front-line soldiers than its ability to protect their supply lines from Allied bombing raids. As a result, German divisions were often accompanied by Luftwaffe (Air Force) heavy anti-aircraft batteries operating as anti-tank guns. These units were so effective that Allied tank crews soon started referring to any effective anti-tank gun as an '88'. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flames of War","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48126852366506,"sku":"BFGBX98","price":29.25,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8682\/files\/BFGBX98.jpg?v=1775018012","url":"https:\/\/www.gapgames.com.au\/products\/flames-of-war-german-8-8cm-heavy-aa-platoon-plastic","provider":"Gap Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
