    hello, my first post here, I hope it's something interesting. Can someone knowledgeable identify the type of ack ack / flak gun in this photograph please? I have purchased it on ebay and still await the original's arrival.

    View attachment 12107 It was taken by a German soldier and identified as a captured (at Dunkirk?) British ack ack gun. If so, as 'beute', it would probably have been re-bored and adapted for German shell sizes. I would be interested to hear what you think.
