The notorious 88mm gun (commonly called the Eighty-eight) was a German anti-aircraft gun. Widely used throughout the war, it was one of Germany's most recognised weapons.

'Flak' is a contraction of Flugzeugabwehrkanone, 'aircraft-defence cannon'. In English, 'flak' became a generic term for ground anti-aircraft fire. The Germans colloquially referred to the gun as the Acht-acht ('Eight-eight'). The 8.8 cm FlaK37 was the final development of the Eighty-eight produced by Krupp. Weighing 7 tonnes, it could fire 15-20 rounds per minute.

As well as its intended use in the anti-aircraft role, the 88 was also very successful as an improvised anti-tank gun, leading to the development of a tank gun based upon it: the 8.8 cm KwK 36.
