For educational purposes<br /><br />In many theatres of operation during World War Two, men did battle from afar. <br /><br />Bombs dropped from the skies, torpedoes fizzed from submarines, long - range artillery rained shells, tanks blasted through cities. <br /><br />Many battles, however, were fought at close quarters and it was here that the infantry looked to the power of small arm fire to gain the upper hand. <br /><br />This episode compares and contrasts some of these weapons, highlighting their development and use by all armies involved in the war. <br /><br />The weapons under review include Mortars, Landmines, Bazookas and Hand Grenades - some of the most feared instruments of war ever invented. <br /><br />3D graphics and animation is featured to illustrate the workings and capabilities of the weapons and there are interviews with historians and military authorities.
