Tom,

I cannot even hope to imagine what it was like for the tank crews going up against the 88's.

Those things were so accurate even at tremendously long ranges and like others have said, could penetrate any allied armour.

Like had been stated many times previously, we should have deployed our 3.7 AA as the German army did.

It could have been a different story.

Regards

Tom
