German Artillery. National Museum of Military Vehicles.


Except for artillery, like me, the topic of artillery tends to be overlooked.  There aren't any movies, for example, about artillerymen. There are about infantrymen, tankers, special forces and even military truck drivers, but artillerymen?  Not so much.

Still, artillery in World War Two was, quite frankly, the great killer.  And the Germans  had some excellent artillery, two examples of which appear here.



The data on both of these guns attributes their origin to work commenced in the 1920s, but I slightly disagree.  I believe that the work on these guns started in World War One.
