M2A1 Howitzer - Walkaround - Niederwampach.
The M2 and M2A1 howitzers were the workhorse
field artillery for the U.S. Army in WWII.
Developed based on German World War I 105mm howitzers,
it filled the need for a motor-drawn artillery to replace
outdated guns and tactics.
It would see action in both the European and Pacific theaters.
Entering production in 1941.
With a moderate range, soldiers appreciated its accuracy
and powerful punch.
Its main purpose was antipersonnel,
but it was flexible enough to provide indirect fire as well.
More than 8,500 were produced during the war.
All of these qualities of the weapon,
along with its widespread production, led to its adoption
by many countries after the war.
This Howitzer is located at the main road in
Niederwampach, close to the chapel.
The howitzer currently standing here
was a replacement for a
German sIG 33 that was probably used in the
Battle of the Bulge.
The sIG was shipped to the
Diekirch Museum and restored in 1990.
The American 105mm M2A1 is just like the sIG in the 90s
in a terrible unkept condition today.
