German gunners

 

German gunners of the Nazi Wehrmacht pose next to an 88 mm Flak 36 anti-aircraft gun during the defense of the skies over the Third Reich from Allied air raids.
One of the German gunners imitates the actions of a ammunition carrier, which, by inserting a projectile into the installer’s neck, activates a mechanism that turns the fuse remote ring at an angle corresponding to the range to the target.
