  1. The British 57mm Six Pounder AT gun was brutally effective against Panzer III and Panzer IV. The smaller carriage, smaller crew made it easier to support than Flak 88. The British gun was much easier to hide than Flak 88 but It’s hard to believe the more sophisticated Flak 88 was so inaccurate that it needed 25 rounds for each tank kill. Were the crews not as well trained as we are led to believe?

  2. The Flak 88 was a powerful tank killer but only when the crews had time to find a hiding place and set it up ready. It also needed a big backup to move ammunition and manage the gun. The a British 57mm Six Pounder was considerably less powerful but was easy to hide and could get many more rounds away with a smaller crew. On Six pounder stopped two Tiger tanks proving that more than enough is just a waste of effort.
