Conventional German artillery was broken down into three main groups: Field Artillery, Anti-Tank Artillery and Anti-Aircraft Artillery. Each group was broken down further, usually using the terms "leichte" (light) and "schwere" (heavy). There was also another break-down, depending on whether a particular piece of ordnance was designed for use by Infanterie (infantry) or Gebirgsjager (mountain) units. In addition. Germany fielded a number of recoilless pieces, primarily for use by Fallschirmjager (airborne) units, which were designated "Leichtgeschutz" (light gun). Germany also fielded self-propelled artillery of all types, tapered-bore anti-tank guns, rocket artillery (including ballistic- and cruise-missiles); super-heavy artillery, railroad guns and coast artillery; several novel experimental designs, and a huge

variety of captured ordnance.
