Historic and technical information
|
|||||
Denomination :     8cm M 05/08 improvised Flak carriage | Origin :       ( Improvisation Autriche-Hongrie)           | ||||
Historic context :
While Skoda and the Austro-Hugraian State arsenals were working on the design of guns specifically developed for the anti-aircraft defense, the fighting armies improvised numerous such weapons on the basis of existing fielguns modified on purpose. This '8cm M05/08 AA modified' is one of these, on which I have not found documentation.
