Howitzers: Unleashing Destruction on the Battlefield From the Western Front of World War I to the Spanish Civil War, from Greece's surrender to Russia's consolation, they have played a pivotal role in shaping history. These powerful artillery pieces have left an indelible mark on numerous conflicts throughout the years. In action on the Western Front during WWI, howitzers proved their worth as indispensable tools of war. Their thunderous blasts echoed across battlefields, striking fear into the hearts of enemy soldiers and leveling fortifications with devastating precision. During the Nationalist Artillery campaign in Spain's Civil War of 1939, howitzers emerged as key players once again. Their firepower turned tides and determined outcomes as they relentlessly pounded enemy positions. The overwhelming Italian advance in Greece before Hellenic surrender is vividly captured in a captivating color lithograph. Amongst this chaotic scene stands a formidable Austrian 24-C. M howitzer - a symbol of Russian resilience amidst loss. British artillery showcased its might with the 9. 2 caliber Howitzer for heavy bombardment during World War I. A black and white photograph immortalizes these monstrous weapons that wreaked havoc upon enemy lines. A German Gun Bunker & 5th Rangers Memorial serves as a somber reminder of battles fought and lives lost. They were instrumental in defending or attacking such fortified positions, leaving behind lasting memorials etched into history. An engraving depicting "Plan of Attack on Bomarsund" showcases strategic planning where howitzers featured prominently among other forces ready to storm enemy strongholds. War illuminations illuminated dark skies with various types proving their value time and again; lighting up battlefields while guiding troops towards victory through darkness and chaos – all made possible by these mighty guns. The Anglo-Boer War witnessed both triumphs and losses for British forces; one such event was depicted in a colorful lithograph showcasing the loss of British artillery at the Battle of Colenso.
