GERMAN ARTILLERY IN WORLD WAR II 1939-1945

by Joachim Engelmann

Never before in history did the German Army possess such variety and magnitude of Artillery as in World War II. From North Cape to Tobruk, Biscay to Lapland, Den Helder to the Caucasus, there were more than 1000 light and about 340 heavy artillery units, as well as field howitzer units, assault gun units, brigades and batteries, observation units, rail batteries, mountain artillery, light gun units and launcher regiments. German Artillery units consisted of 655,000 men in 1943, or 22 percent of all the soldiers who went into action. This is a look at the operations, action and everyday life of German artillerymen.

OSPREY ELITE 183: U-BOAT TACTICS IN WORLD WAR II

by Gordon Williamson. Illustrated by Ian Palmer

At the start of the war, German U-boat technology vastly outperformed that possessed by the Allies, and under the pressure of the war continual development helped keep pace with wartime needs and improvements in anti-submarine weaponry. But it was not just the technology that had to change. German U-boat tactics evolved over time. Used in a variety of roles, from coastal patrolling through to the combined actions of convey-hunting ‘wolf packs', the tactics used by U-Boats were diverse. This book analyses how they dominated the seas thanks to their innovative and daring tactical deployment, and how the cracking of the Enigma code effectively hamstrung them.
