British Anti-tank Artillery 1939–45 [nvg 98] by Chris Henry

ISBN: 9781841766386 PUBLISHER: Osprey Group
FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 48 PUBLICATION DATE: 2004

DESCRIPTION: The rapid development of the tank as an offensive weapon following its introduction in World War I gave artillery theorists cause for concern during the 1920s and 1930s. By the beginning of World War II anti-tank guns had been developed, initially at around 37mm and 2 pounds in weight of shot. By the end of the war, monster anti-tank weapons were being developed, able to penetrate an armour thickness of up to 200mm at a range of 1,000 yards. This book explores the British efforts to keep up in a war of development, which saw heavier and more powerful guns eventually replaced by experimental ideas in an attempt to stop the German onslaught.
