German Anti-aircraft Defences 1935-1945, Weapons, Emplacements, Equipments
During WWII, as the Allies sent thousands of aircraft to atack the German homeland, it was the flak teams that stood as the last line of defence.
In the 'Illustrated Handbook of Flak' all aspects of German Anti-aircraft artillery are covered from development of anit-balloon artillery in the 1870's Franco-Prussian War to the sophisticated ground-to-air rockets in use by 1945, the administrative, strategic and tactical organisations involved, and the variety of weapons used.
