Second World War Artillery

During the Second World War, artillery referred to large guns and cannons used by armies to attack distant targets, support infantry, and defend territory. This included everything from smaller field guns to massive siege weapons and long-range rockets. Artillery played a crucial role in shaping battles by delivering powerful firepower, destroying enemy fortifications, and providing indirect fire support. Advances in technology improved accuracy, range, and rate of fire, making artillery a vital element of war strategy across all major theaters of the conflict.
