From
https://www.quora.com/How-effective-was-the-German-88-as-an-anti-aircraft-weapon

"A single gun had only a remote chance of hitting or damaging an Allied bomber.
But many guns were used increasing the chances of a hit or damage.

"Numerous bombers were damaged and some brought down. Numerous crew injured or
killed. But the greater losses were to German fighters
