Guns of the Wehrmacht: 1933-1945

Cinematic storytelling powered by Moviepedia.

Using rare archival footage, this fascinating documentary explores the effectiveness of the German artillery section during World War II, tracking the re-armament of the new Wehrmacht after the Nazi party's rise to power. Due to a successful performance on the Western Front during World War I and the subsequent Treaty of Versailles (which specifically denied the Reichswehr heavy artillery), the know-how was already in place for rapid expansion.
