German 88mm Live Fire Is INSANE

Crazy Firepower!

The German 88mm anti-aircraft gun is an engineering marvel, and seeing one in action today is a rare and fascinating experience. It’s incredible to think that eight decades ago, these weapons were mass-produced and operated by young soldiers in the heat of battle.

Now, they’re mostly museum pieces or collector’s items, but witnessing a functional one fire is a powerful reminder of its history. The recoil system is especially impressive—despite the sheer force of the blast, the gun stays remarkably level. You can imagine how the thunderous report must have echoed for miles, giving everyone nearby a taste of the raw power and precision this legendary weapon was known for.

A true piece of history still in working order—what are your thoughts on seeing it in action?
