  In many theatres of operation during WWII men did battle from afar. Bombs were dropped from the sky torpedoes fizzed from submarines long range artillery rained shells tanks blasted through cities. Many battles however were fought at closer quarters and it was here that the infantry looked to the power of small arms fire to gain the upper hand. This DVD compares and contrasts some of these weapons highlighting their development and use by all armies involved in the war. The weapons under review include mortars landmines bazookas and hand grenades ; some of the most feared weapons ever devised.
