Naval artillery on factory trials
Factory trials of a long-range naval artillery piece. The effort of the German war industry intensified to the point that, even if it can seem strange, production was enormously larger than during the beginning of the war, despite the damages caused by the Allied bombings.

Production of Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighters
A full squadron of new fighters Focke-Wulf Fw 190 receive the finishing touches before being delivered. These aircraft used a powerful air-cooled radial engine whose large power allowed to compensate the aerodynamic drag caused by the flat nose.

German female worker
A German girl working in the war industry, as many other women who had to contribute to the war effort when the events turned against their country.
