"Seized from an 78 year old pensioner's house"

And look how well they look. I mean he must have taken care of them quite good =)

Also, "Flakgeschütz 18 AKA Flak-18" Isn't FlAK short for Flugzeug Abwehr Kanone? makes no sense to have an extra Geschutz after it.

Correct but from my limited knowledge of German language, they can turn a sentence into a word for naming stuff. Flugzeugabwehrkanone is an example of that.

Description

In Kiel, northern Germany, police and army have seized from an 78 year old pensioner's house the following items: A Panther Ausf. D, 88-mm Flakgeschütz 18 AKA Flak-18 , a torpedo and some rifles and machineguns.

The mayor, Alexander Orth is not surprised by the find: "He was chugging around in that thing during the snow catastrophe in 1978".
