Rommel first used the 88mm. anti-aircraft gun against tanks in North Africa. He was dead from suicide before the Battle of the Bulge began.

No, I meant the first Ardennes campaign, the original blitzkrieg, the Battle of Arras.

Actually 88’s were first used in Spain by the Condor Legion and then in May of 1940 in France.
