Summary
Zvonimir Freivogel: Artillery of the Austro-Hungarian Land Army in the First World War
Already well-known naval author Zvonimir Freivogel returned to the subject of the land battlefields and wrote a book about the Austro-Hungarian artillery in the First World War.
The topic of the Austro-Hungarian artillery is rarely described in Croatian-speaking literature and apart from a few articles in professional and popular magazines or encyclopedias there are no works that dealt with that area. The author therefore decided to fill that gap with his own kind of encyclopedia of Austro-Hungarian cannons, howitzers, mortars, mortars and machine guns, in which one can find an overview of all cannon weapons used by the Austro-Hungarian armed forces during the First World War.
After the introductory text, there are chapters on individual types of artillery, from field and mountain, through fortress, siege and coastal, to anti-aircraft and weapons used in trench warfare, such as mortars and machine guns.
The book is richly illustrated and supplemented with tables with tactical and technical data of the guns themselves and data on the organization of Austro-Hungarian field, mountain and heavy artillery before and during the First World War.
