The KwK36 (full designation: 8.8 cm KwK 36 L / 56) is a German 88 mm tank gun from the Second World War. The length of the gun barrel was 56 calibers, or 492.8 centimeters. The average rate of fire of this gun was 8-10 rounds per minute with a well-trained crew, and the maximum range was about 10,500 meters. The gun was developed and produced at the Krupp factories. The presented gun was developed as a de facto tank version of the 88 mm FlaK36 anti-aircraft gun, which performed great as an anti-tank weapon during the battles in France in 1940 or during the battles in North Africa (1941-1943). The main design changes involved the reduction of the castle chamber and its adaptation to the size of the tank turret. Of course, the great ballistic parameters of the FlaK36 cannon were kept as much as possible, which was also successful. Finally, a cannon with excellent accuracy and great firepower was created, which at the time of its introduction into service was able to destroy any Allied or Soviet tank, and maintained its considerable combat value until the end of the war. It is worth adding that the KwK36 cannon fired various types of projectiles, for example: Panzergranate (PzGr.) 39, PzGr. 40, but also Granate (Gr.) 39 and Sprgr. 45. It was the basic armament of a heavy tank: Pz.Kpfw. VI Tiger.
