Anybody have a good source for German arty doctrine? Specifically what kind of firing sheafs were used? I've got a friend designing some board wargames, needs help. |

This may help: link link German Handbook: PDF link
This is listed as the source for some info This is what I've used: link One big problem the German experienced on the Russian Front, especially in the south, was lack of maps and geographic locations to take readings on. Russian maps were many times inaccurate and needed to have markings translated before going to the troops. When the observer cannot determine where he or the artillery is the initial ranging rounds from higher level artillery may miss the target by miles and not be observed. The big advantage the Allies in the West had was extensive photo recon and pre-computed range tables. The German could do the same thing but had almost no photo recon and when continually falling back your range tables are only good for a few days. Wolfhag |
