World War II Ordnance

World War II ordnance refers to the military weapons, bombs, and explosive devices used during the conflict. It included a wide range of armaments such as artillery shells, landmines, hand grenades, aircraft bombs, and naval mines. Many of these munitions were innovative for their time but also dangerous, often remaining unexploded long after the war ended, posing ongoing hazards. Proper handling, disposal, and understanding of WWII ordnance are crucial for safety and historical preservation. These weapons played a significant role in combat strategies and shaped post-war military technology and disarmament efforts.
