German artillery strategy

German artillery strategy, particularly during World War I and II, focused on achieving rapid, overwhelming firepower to support ground troops. Artillery units were organized for both long-range bombardment and close support, using coordination with infantry to maximize impact. The Germans developed techniques like "creeping barrages," where artillery fire moved ahead of advancing soldiers, suppressing enemy positions. They emphasized precision targeting to minimize collateral damage and conserve ammunition while leveraging advancements in technology for better communication and accuracy. This approach aimed to break enemy lines, disrupt logistics, and create opportunities for swift maneuver warfare.
