Just watched and thoroughly enjoyed EP 1. It’s a unique perspective on the air warfare part of WW2 when most war series/movies focus on ground fighting.
Just curious if anyone knows how the flak that gets shot at the bombers works. Do those explosions spit out a bunch of shrapnel or do they just to create a percussive effect when they explode?

Flak rounds are large shrapnel shells. The casing becomes shrapnel when the shell explodes at the pre set altitude.
btw-The famous 88 that was mounted on Tiger tanks was originally designed as an anti aircraft flak gun. (And far far more were used in that service than were ever installed in various German tanks)
