Big Picture: King of Battle
History of firepower from cannon to atomic missile told on "THE BIG PICTURE" -- The thing you remember about the Field Artillery is the tremendous noise that a fire mission creates. "King of Battle," the newest release in the Army's TV series THE BIG PICTURE, portrays dramatically the development of artillery in the Army from 1776 to 1957. Viewers will see the cannon that fought with Washington, a primitive weapon but good enough to pound the British at Bunker Hill, support the successful attack at Trenton, and aid in the defeat of Cornwallis at Yorktown. They will learn how artillery played a decisive part in winning the Battle of Gettysburg. Crammed into 28 minutes are stock shots of the allied Meuse-Argonne offensive that finally broke the back of the German Army in 1918; the Pacific campaign of World War II where artillery became the most effective weapon against the Banzai charge of the Japanese; and finally, Korea -- where American commanders traded manpower for firepower and once again artillery came to dominate the battlefield. Since artillery can never rest on past performances, THE BIG PICTURE examines pictorially the new concept of today for American artillery -- mobility. The camera lens follows a battery commander and his unit as they move from one position to another by means of helicopter, ready for action again 20 miles away in a matter of minutes.

Pretty cool until the same thing is coming at YOU. Enemy gets a vote.
Throughout WWII, ETO, my father was a "Red Leg" (MOS 844); From Sicily, to Normandy, to the demise of the "Master Race".
Btry "A", 32nd Field Artillery Battalion (1st ID 18RCT)
Sounds like he shot a lot of shells but shot a weak fuckin load when he came home.
The Germans never claimed to be a "master race". you and your Father were lied to and tricked by the zionists. Do your own Learning instead of being brainwashed by corrupt government parasite pigs.
Thank you masta sargent
I like those Cannon Jr Nukes...they would be much better than the ICBM stuff
16:42 . I think the German army may have faced mass rocket attacks before the American army hit Europe.
Katyusha.
And They still caused alot more casualties upon the alLies.
The ledgendary BAR,,,, Browning Automatic Rifle,,, classic
Around 13:45 to 13:53 US Troops using a PPSH41 Submachine Gun and a Type 96/99 Japanese Light Machine Gun
Do not disturb the Artillerymen, for they are an obstinate lot.

There is plenty of gravy on the stove
Funny how Americans forget to mention that without France's help they would never haveson the war of independence.
I think it's been mentioned a lot actually. Ben Franklin and John Adams spent a lot of time in france and were pretty complimentary to them. Also it was mentioned often in propganda during both world wars while americans fought to liberate france
No one forgets that. We don’t need to make apologies.
I remember being taught about Lafayette and the French fleet blockading Yorktown. Fairly common knowledge.....
Just like alot of americans act like they single handedly "won" WW2. Stupid
Well, we paid France back twice.
Nuns in the open HE WP Fire for effect!

They forgot to mention that during the German Offensive in 1944 in the Ardenne, more than 1000 americans surrendered. More than The Germans did. In Fact, it was the largest american surrender in History during the Battle of The Bulge.
Any difference to the outcome ? Does that make German the victorious side ? Does that make German the morally at higher ground ? Does that make the German the super army?
What is your point ?
@@tanjongmalim6869 Germany was The more superior side. And A better Army. america was on the same team as the communists. Even one of the most Famous Generals in History, George S. Patton said we defeated the wrong enemy.
@@tanjongmalim6869 Patton felt strongly after the War that the u.s should have Fought with Germany against communism. People now a days don't even Know the Truth about The Germans in WW2.
