The origins of the Flugabwehr-Kanone 88mm gun hearken back to 1928 and are part of a series of guns produced by Krupp. This weapon was introduced in 1934, and further development resulted in the Flak 36 and 37 models. The main differences were the barrel construction, which allowed worn liners to be replaced, and the addition of a shield for crew protection. All models had a cruciform gun carriage where two of the trails folded upright and the other two were supported by single axle bogie wheels for movement. A well-trained crew could unlimber and set up the gun in less than three minutes.
