6.16.2025 Birthday wish- WORLD PEACE! #onlinediary #worldpeace

Weather weather lang talaga ang buhay..

After centuries of being oppressed, persecuted, killed just because of their old religion.. Now these people become the oppressors, persecutors, invaders, occupiers.. They have become very very strong out of necessities because many countries are sworn to destroy them. They need to survive & win all wars. Because 1 defeat will mean their country will be destroyed.

Their land area is only about like the size of Metro Manila + Calabarzon+ Bulacan & Pampanga and their population is only about 60% the population of Metro Manila.. Yes, the population of Metro manila is even greater than the population of this small country.

And yet, this small country, is very very very strong militarily since military service and training is compulsary to all adult, They are very technologically advanced too. If there is one country that you can admire in a way, it is their country..

Surrounded at all sides by oil rich countries bowed to destroyed them, & yet still win all the wars..

But believe me, i will always choose a poor peaceful country like the Philippines than living in this rich technologically advanced country that has no peace..

After a surprise attack recently by a govt militia that killed around 1,700 of their people, their revenge is so brutal, so emphatic that they have so far killed 55,000 mostly civilians & hundred of thousands injured and hungry...

A ratio of about 1:32 & counting.. It is like saying to their enemies, if you kill 1 of our people, we will retaliate by killing 30.. So that no country/militia will dare to attack us again.. "Ibang klase lupit , walang sinabi si FPJ kung gumanti"..

But the wold is silent, because like me, we are afraid of being backlashed..

so my birthday wish now = STOP THE WAR! WORLD PEACE!

KING TIGER TANK

 

 

 

 

is the 88mm used by flak in ww2 by german the same 88mm turret in king tiger tank?

ChatGPT said:

Great question! The 88mm guns used by the Germans during World War II—specifically in Flak (anti-aircraft) roles and in tanks like the Tiger II (King Tiger)—are related but not the same weapon.

Here's the breakdown:

1. 8.8 cm Flak 18 / 36 / 37 / 41 (Anti-Aircraft / Anti-Tank Guns)

• These were the famous anti-aircraft guns (Flak = Flugabwehrkanone).

• Originally designed for high-altitude air defense, but famously effective against tanks due to their high velocity.

• Caliber: 88mm (8.8 cm)

• The Flak 18/36/37 had a barrel length of L/56 (i.e., 56 times the caliber).

• The Flak 41 had a longer barrel (L/74), more powerful than earlier versions.

2. 8.8 cm KwK 36 L/56 (Tiger I Tank Gun)

• Derived from the Flak 36, adapted for tank use in the Tiger I.

• Very similar to the anti-aircraft version in terms of ballistics and power.

• Barrel length: L/56

3. 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 (Tiger II / King Tiger Gun)

• This is the gun used in the Tiger II (King Tiger).

• Not the same as the Flak 36/37 or the KwK 36.

• Much more powerful: longer barrel (L/71), higher muzzle velocity, better armor penetration.

• Derived from the PaK 43 (an anti-tank version), not the earlier Flak guns.

---

Summary:

• Same caliber (88mm)? ✅ Yes

• Same gun? ❌ No

• The King Tiger’s 88mm (KwK 43 L/71) was a newer, much more powerful gun compared to the earlier Flak 36/37 or Tiger I’s KwK 36.

Let me know if you'd like a comparison of their armor penetration or battlefield performance.
