A Russian artillery crew at work. More than its adversaries, Russia suffered from munitions shortages. A card from Der Weltkrieg 1914-1918, a 1930s German history of the war illustrated (or not) with pasted-in cigarette cards.

Russische Artillerie. Die russische Artillerie war vortrefflich ausgerüstet. Es fehlte ihr aber, namentlich später, sehr häusig an Munition. Das erbeutete russische Geschützmaterial wurde von uns schnellmöglichst wieder verwertet, vor allem durch Umbau zu Flugabwehrkanonen. Übrigens verwendeten wir auch in großer Zahl russische Gewehre.



Russian artillery. The Russian artillery was admirably equipped. It frequently lacked ammunition, however, especially later. We recycled captured Russian artillery material as quickly as possible, mainly by conversion to anti-aircraft guns. Incidentally, we also used large numbers of Russian guns.
