This new photo album is number 28 in the MMP Books/Stratus "Camera On"
series. It is the first to cover in such photographic detail the German
usage of both the 2 cm Flak 28 and the Flak 30. Both of these weapons
saw extensive action on all battle fronts of the Second World War
wherever the German armed forces saw service. While they were both
excellent weapons at their time of development, they both rapidly became
less effective as ever faster and higher flying aircraft were produced
by Germany's enemies.
This book contains 140+ photographs taken by the average German soldier
of both the 2 cm Flak 28 and 30 as well as their crews while in service
and many of the environments they had to operate within. This volume
illustrates these weapons as the soldiers themselves viewed them in both
their fighting environment and, in many cases, just as a tool they lived
with and had to look after on a daily basis, not the highly polished and
sanitized views of the official photographers. This book is an
invaluable reference for military historians and modelers alike.
