    Equipment for the larger FLAK search light. These coal rods was used instead of light bulbs, in the larger search lights. Theys where used in pairs. When electrical current was turned on, a small lightning was created between the rods. This produced a very intense light.

    Here is my contribution to the Luftwaffe Flak Thread. This is an Oberleutnant of Flak from Luftwaffe Flak-Regiment 5.

    Bob,

    That is a beautiful tunic. How about some closeups? :cheers:

    Snoopy,

    I have never seen one of those devices before! Any information on the brightness of the flare?

    Thanks Paul. :)

    Here is writing on the back.

    This photo is from an album showing II/Flak Rgt.11 (mot) in action in Poland and the Ukraine.

    Lots of action, medals, vehicles, uniforms, graves, weapons photos. One of the best albums in my collection.

    Cheers,

    Larry
