German
Artillery of World War Two
by Ian V. Hogg
 Book Description
This authoritative volume is the complete story of German artillery during World War II.
Illustrated with over 400 photographs and illustrations, this is a superb visual guide to
the equipment of Hitler's armed forces.
The book is divided into sections: infantry, mountain, and field artillery; heavy field
artillery and heavy artillery; railway artillery, including the legendary 'Dora'; antitank
and antiaircraft guns; coastal artillery; and recoilless artillery. Each section is fully
illustrated and technical details and data are presented on each individual type and
model. The author provides such key information as service history, caliber, length,
rifling, elevation, weight, range, and ammunition used. Ian Hogg includes the full range
of artillery from the V3 and 'Dora' to those workhorses of the German military, the 8.8cm
and 7.5cm Feldkanone.

Comments from Amazon.com readers
 | Lawrence M. Bloodgood says: This is the Best Book on German Artillery of World War II
that I have read so far. It covers all artillery from small guns to the biggest Railway
and coastal Guns. The technical Data is great and the pictures are very good. It also
covers those that were designed but never used in World War II. This is the book for the
person that wants to know all about German Artillery in World War II. |
| This book gives historical as well as technical knowledges about German artillery pieces
of WWII. And there are lots of photos of them to help reader's understandings. The only
regret is there is no chapters for German mortars and rockets of contemparary era. This
book, however, should be the best reference to understand German artillery of WWII beyond
amateur levels. |
