Good evening fellow WWII fans. I have just seen and held a cartridge from a Flak cannon. Needless to say I didn't have my camera with me The cartridge read 3,7cm Flak WaA406 1939. That thing was huge! At least it seemed very big to me. Of course I'm used to handguns only so that might be the reason I'm so impressed.
I wonder if any of you have pictures of these rounds with a projectile on them? This one has no projectile so it could be fun to see a complete one.
BTW the same guy also had a cartridge (if that's what you call it?) from the railway cannon called "Thick Bertha" (don't know if you call it that in english) from WWI. That thing was enormous!! The crew on that cannon must have been deaf after one shot...
