Equipment

Aircraft Aircraft were still something new at the start of WW2, but it took little time for commanders to realize these machines were a requirement of modern warfare. |
 |
Ships From the Atlantic to the Pacific, these floating cities performed duties ranging from, but not limited to, shore bombardment, aircraft launching, and transportation of men and supplies. |
 |
Vehicles Twenty years after WW1 ended, the ground war was completely transformed from static trenches to highly mobile battlefields; these vehicles were the driving forces behind that change. |
 |
Weapons and Miscellaneous Equipment Small arms, artillery, grenades, blades, helmets, uniforms, and other pieces of weapons and miscellaneous equipment used in WW2. |
