Is that a howitzer or anti-tank gun?

Self Propelled AA Gun
An 88mm AA weapon created by the marriage of the Porsche designed Pzkw VI "Tiger" chassis that failed in the competition against the winning Henschel design for the production contract and the 88mm FlaK. This combination was called the "Cricket" or "Grille".
