Comprehensive up to a point .,

This review is from: German Artillery of World War II (Greenhill Military Paperback) (Paperback)
This volume offers comprehensive coverage of German WW2 gun artillery pieces , but there is not a single Nebelwerfer rocket artillery piece in the book ! This is a surprising omission that knocks off a star . There are plenty of photographs of the guns , but mention of where the weapons saw service is a bit sketchy .

Great Book,
By Lawrence M. Bloodgood - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: German Artillery of World War Two (Hardcover)
This is the Best Book on German Artillery of World War II that I have read so far. It covers all artillery from small guns to the biggest Railway and coastal Guns. The technical Data is great and the pictures are very good. It also covers those that were designed but never used in World War II. This is the book for the person that wants to know all about German Artillery in World War II.

A Perfect Reference for German Artillery of WWII,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: German Artillery of World War Two (Hardcover)
This book gives historical as well as technical knowledges about German artillery pieces of WWII. And there are lots of photos of them to help reader's understandings. The only regret is there is no chapters for German mortors and rockets of contemparary era. This book, however, should be the best reference to understand German artillery of WWII beyond amature levels.
