I think it was also Rommel's command who first used anti-aircraft 88mm guns in an anti-tank role during the Ardennes campaign.

When I play computer tactical wargames in the German role, I always ensure that I have a strong battery of 88mm guns in my unit: great for long-range tank killing and also for anti-aircraft work.

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.
