World War II Vehicles
 |
Tanks Tracked and heavily armored, they were originally designed to break the trench stalemates in WW1, but by WW2, they had turned into highly mobile weapons. |
 |
Armored Cars Armored cars were lightly armed and wheeled, often used as command or reconnaissance vehicles, though they saw their share of combat. |
 |
Self-Propelled Guns and Artillery Whether an anti-aircraft gun, or anti-tank gun, or rocket artillery, these self-propelled guns offered much greater flexibility than their towed predecessors. |
 |
Transports Front lines could only advance with secure supply lines behind them. A wide array of transport vehicles was necessary to bring the needed supplies to the advancing fronts. |
 |
Other Vehicles of other classifications, whether tractors, motorcycles, or other types, contributed to the war as much as their higher-profile siblings. |
