Medal Re: 88 antitank, antiaircraft and artillery?

Funny that you bring that up. I noticed that the 88 was used quite frequently as artillery by the Germans but I'm sure it was in a different configuration. I think one example of the 88 being used as artillery that comes to mind is during the shelling of the encircled 101st airborne division.

Here is an interesting documentary about the 88
