Britain at War Magazine | Weapons of World War Two: Artillery
The devastating power of artillery has been validated on the battlefield many times during the modern era, and an estimated 60 to 75 percent of battle casualties in World War One were caused by artillery fire.
The lessons of the Great War weighed heavily on the military leaders who planned and executed campaigns during World War Two a generation later, and artillery played a central role in the prosecution of war, in victory and defeat.
Artillery was, quite simply, the deciding factor in battles from the steppes of Russia to the desert of North Africa and the bocage of Normandy, from the jungles and ridges of Guadalcanal to the summit of Mount Suribachi, and beyond.
Weapons of World War Two: Artillery explores the awesome, destructive force that was modern artillery in World War Two, the types deployed by both the Axis and Allies. See the origins and the operations of the famous weapons that tipped the balance on the field at some of the most critical times in the greatest armed conflict in human history.
