Technology during World War II

Technology played a crucial role in determining the outcome of World War II. Much of it was developed during the interwar years of the 1920s and 1930s, some were developed in response to valuable lessons learned during the war, and some were beginning to be developed as the war ended.Effects on warfareAlmost all types of technology were customized, although major developments were:Weaponry: ships, vehicles, aircraft, artillery, rocketry, small arms; and biological, chemical, and atomic weaponsLogistical support: vehicles necessary for transporting soldiers and supplies, such as trains, trucks, ships, and aircraftCommunications and intelligence: devices used for navigation, communication, remote sensing, and espionageMedicine: surgical innovations, chemical medicines, and techniquesIndustry: the technologies employed at factories and production/distribution centers.This was perhaps the first war where military operations were aimed at the research efforts of the enemy. For example: The exfiltration of Niels Bohr from German-occupied Denmark to Britain in 1943 The sabotage of Norwegian heavy water production The bombing of PeenemundeMilitary operations were also conducted to obtain intelligence on the enemy's technology; for example, the Bruneval Raid for German radar and Operation Most III for the German V-2.
