Looking good Jim
(I have one of their old 35th 88’s sitting here for a rainy day, with a DAK crew)
I just checked the American TM (see earlier in this topic for a link to a PDF version), and it doesn’t really show or explain the cabling. It shows a 104-pole (!) connector on the rear trail, but pictures in the TM also show a smaller connector on the rear lower side of the fuze setter, without pointing it out or explaining what it’s for as far as I can tell on a quick browse.88mm flaks were normally placed in a group or battery. Each battery had a Kommandogerät which was the trailer mounted instrument for ranging and estimating the altitude of the incoming bomber formations. The cables were used to connect each gun to the Kommandogerät so the gun crew could set the fuses of the shells according to the data/altitude measurements from the Gerät.
