Footage & Article
Signal Article
In the school of the Artilleryman. Where are the enemy artillery batteries positioned? The electric lights, which turn on and off, represent enemy canons firing in this miniature landscape and must be honed in on by the gunners using their optical instruments. Performance is then calculated using the angle measuring method.
Target: Enemy Battery on Hill 115. Using a miniature canon, the same firing calculations are made as would take place on a full sized canon. Everything that a future battery chief will need can be trained here including the Creeping Barrage and Corrected Fire, for both direct and indirect fire.
50 meters too short. The students observe carefully where the small shells land and thereby, as a group, learn the art of the artilleryman.
Straight ahead, in the town, an enemy tank. With the small practice canons the trainees learn to shoot. What is the purpose of this exercise? The long distances that the canons can shoot was a real problem in the training process basically because they were unable to physically see where the shells were landing. This problem was resolved in the Wehrmacht’s artillery school by reducing the scale of all sizes and distances equally.
After going over the lessons learned the tank and the target town are brought back to the workshop to be repaired.
