325 GERMAN FIELD ARTILLERY OF WORLD WAR II

1-995325

Surveys the major Wehrmacht guns of WWII and the basic organizational structure of the German field artillery. Its primary focus is on the divisional field guns, especially the lFH 18 10.5cm field howitzer and the 15cm sFH 18 field howitzer that formed the backbone of German artillery. A brief survey is also made of the infantry guns used at the regimental level, and of corps-level heavy artillery. The issue of the use of 'Beutewaffen,' captured war-booty field guns, is also looked at, as is the Nebelwerfer and schwere Wurfgerat rocket artillery. Includes archive photos and detailed illustrations.
