12.8 cm Twin Flak 40, The Heaviest German Anti Aircraft Gun, WW2 Documentary

#WW2 #WW2History #WWII Take a look into the history of the 12.8 cm Twin Flak 40, one of the heaviest German anti-aircraft guns of World War Two. This video shows its development, construction and deployment within Germany’s air-defense system. With its massive twin-barrel configuration and a rate of fire of up to 20 rounds per minute, the Flak 40 could engage high-altitude bombers at ranges exceeding 14 kilometers. The weapon represented the peak of German heavy AA gun technology during the war and was later adapted for use in fixed Flak towers. #WW2Weapons #GermanArmy #WW2Documentary #WorldWarTwo #MilitaryHistory #WWIIWeapons #Flak40 #WW2Doku #HistoryShorts #Luftwaffe #AntiAircraft
