FlaK is a German designation for any AAA. It's am abbreviation of Flugabwehrkanone (literally "Flight (or aircraft) Defense Cannon" but there are other sources stating that flak stands for other things; that's neither here nor there). The 8.8cm FlaK cannon is a FlaK, so is the 2cm FlaK cannon, and so is the 12.8cm flakzvilling cannon.
by the way I bags double 12.8cm as my waifu, shot-fucking-gun

How did flak intercept aircraft with relative accuracy when Germany did not have proximity fuses?
Jacob James
It didn't. Flak was almost entirely inefficient, but it was the best they had. They used the wingspan of the bombers and Pythagoras to estimate altitude and set the fuses accordingly.
John Collins
No, not really. We don't know if the rounds actually went through. Most of the hits are in the sides. 4x 20mm guns will do that to you in 2 bursts.
But like said, this is a canadian sherman used as a training target.

I'm not studied on the issue of effectiveness so I'd hear and out.
The video the greek op posted goes through much of the essential elements of German air defence.
