Product Description

The propaganda view of the German Army as being the first modern army fully equipped for war in 1939 is far from historically accurate. The Treaty of Versailles left Germany weak and unable to produce more than token weapons. Germany entered WWII using a variety of obsolete and captured weapons. These, and the more advanced guns that followed, are described in detail and fully illustrated here by noted historian Terry Gander. Includes all types of field and heavy artillery, coastal guns and anti-aircraft guns.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a fine book from Terry Gander and The Crowood Press, Nov 10 1998

This review is from: Germanys Guns 1939-45 (Hardcover)

Review by Frank Gould, MAFVA Internet Officer.

It is often said it is the artillery that wins a campaign or battle. There is no doubt about the effectiveness of the Flak guns during the bombing campaign of Germany.

There have been perhaps, many books reviewing the guns of the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe over the years but Terry guides the reader through the different types of guns interspersed with stories about a couple major strategies and tactical encounters during the Second World War. Terry takes the reader into specific stories such as the Battle of France and Barbarossa and the siege of Sevastapol for a different way to present the story of 'Germany's Guns'.

I can only repeat what Crowood have written on the inside front flap: "With almost two hundred photographs... this book will appeal to enthusiasts and historians alike".
