Every Type of Artillery in World War II Explained

This video breaks down the full spectrum of artillery used during World War II, explaining how indirect firepower shaped battlefields across Europe, Africa, and the Pacific. From lightweight infantry support weapons to massive long-range siege systems, each artillery category is examined for its design purpose, firepower, mobility, and battlefield role.

You’ll learn how field guns, howitzers, mortars, anti-tank guns, anti-aircraft artillery, self-propelled guns, rocket artillery, naval landing guns, railway guns, coastal batteries, mountain artillery, and siege weapons were engineered and deployed. The video explains barrel lengths, firing arcs, shell types, range differences, crew requirements, and why certain artillery concepts evolved—or disappeared—by the end of the war.

Real-world examples from Axis and Allied forces are used to illustrate how artillery supported infantry assaults, destroyed fortifications, countered armor, defended airspace, and reshaped modern warfare doctrine. Presented in a clear, structured format with visual comparisons designed for maximum clarity and historical context.
