-WW2 Infantry Weapons-
An incomplete overview of infantry weapons used in world war II. The emphasis is on the pictures
that I scanned. I modified the colors and enhanced some detail so all pictures are in the same style.
All weapons are displayed in the same scale, except for the pistols and the bazooka. I'll try to add some more
weapons and info to this page.
Image Sources key:
** from D-Day invasie in Normandie, Stephen Badsey et al. (D-Day:operation overlord - London)
* from D-Day, Stephen Badsey (D-Day. Godalming: Colour library books,1993)
Data Sources:
Waffen-HQ In german. Data seems accurate to me.
