I think I know the answer, but before I put brush to figure wanted to check. If an 88 is part of a divisional organisation would the crew where field grey rather than Luftwaffe blue. I presume that only crew manning 88s that are part of Luftwaffe units would where the blue. Am j correct or have I made a foolish assumption? Thanks |

Corrects. 88s within army (Heer) divisions were manned by army (Heer) troops, and in SS divisions, SS troops. |

Was this the case in 1941? I thought when 88's were first being used as anti-tank weapons in Russia, they were still manned by flak crews. I could have my facts mixed around however. |

There were some LW flak companies attached as corps assets within the panzer groups in '41. |

Jemima, I've long wanted to make a comic post exploiting the homophones one finds here, but you've beaten me to it! |

'Comic' or maybe just rude. There are a lot of people using TMP whose first language is not English. There are also a lot of people using TMP who may have dyslexia or similar conditions. Publicly pointing out these trivial errors is inconsiderate and pointless. Just saying……. |

Classy, I thought better of you, a shame. |
