c bombing 435 and germany s late shift to a war economy 436 contributed significantly additionally neither germany nor japan planned to fight a protracted war and had not equipped themselves to do so 437 germany japan and the soviet union used millions of slave labourers in war related industries 410 412 392 advances in technology and its application main article technology during world war ii a v 2 rocket launched from a fixed site in peenemünde 21 june 1943 aircraft were used for reconnaissance as fighters bombers and ground support and each role developed considerably innovations included airlift the capability to quickly move limited high priority supplies equipment and personnel 438 and strategic bombing the bombing of enemy industrial and population centres to destroy the enemy s ability to wage war 439 anti aircraft weaponry also advanced including defences such as radar and surface to air artillery in particular the introduction of the proximity fuze the use of the jet aircraft was pioneered and led to jets becoming standard in air forces worldwide 440 advances were made in nearly every aspect of naval warfare most notably with aircraft carriers and submarines although aeronautical warfare had relatively little success at the start of the war actions at taranto pearl harbor and the coral sea established the carrier as the dominant capital ship in place of the battleship 441 442 443 in the atlantic escort carriers became a vital part of allied convoys increasing the effective protection radius and helping to close the mid atlantic gap 444 carriers were also more economical than battleships due to the relatively low cost of aircraft 445 and because they are not required to be as heavily armoured 446 submarines which had proved to be an effective weapon during world war i 447 were expected by all combatants to be important in the second the british focused development on anti submarine weaponry and tactics such as sonar and convoys while germany focused on improving its offensive capability with designs such as the type vii submarine and wolfpack tactics 448 gradually improving allied technologies such as the leigh light hedgehog squid and homing torpedoes proved effective against german submarines 449 nuclear gadget being raised to the top of the detonation shot tower at alamogordo bombing range trinity nuclear test new mexico july 1945 land warfare changed from the static frontlines of trench warfare of world war i which had relied on improved artillery that outmatched the speed of both infantry and cavalry to increased mobility and combined arms the tank which had been used predominantly for infantry support in the first world war had evolved into the primary weapon 450 in the late 1930s tank design was considerably more advanced than it had been during world war i 451 and advances continued throughout the war with increases in speed armour and firepower 452 453 at the start of the war most commanders thought enemy tanks should be met by tanks with superior specifications 454 this idea was challenged by the poor performance of the relatively light early tank guns against armour and german doctrine of avoiding tank versus tank combat this along with germany s use of combined arms were among the key elements of their highly successful blitzkrieg tactics across poland and france 450 many means of destroying tanks including indirect artillery anti tank guns both towed and self propelled mines short ranged infantry antitank weapons and other tanks were used 454 even with large scale mechanisation infantry remained the backbone of all forces 455 and throughout the war most infantry were equipped similarly to world war i 456 the portable machine gun spread a notable example being the german mg 34 and various submachine guns which were suited to close combat in urban and jungle settings 456 the assault rifle a late war development incorporating many features of the rifle and submachine gun became the standard post war infantry weapon for most armed forces 457 most major belligerents attempted to solve the problems of complexity and security involved in using large codebooks for cryptography by designing ciphering machines the most well known being the german enigma machine 458 development of sigint sig nals int elligence and cryptanalysis enabled the countering process of decryption notable examples were the allied decryption of japanese naval codes 459 and british ultra a pioneering method for decoding enigma that benefited from information given to the united kingdom by the polish cipher bureau which had been decoding early versions of enigma before the war 460 another component of military intelligence was deception which the allies used to great effect in operations such as mincemeat and bodyguard 459 461 other technological and engineering feats achieved during or as a result of the war include the world s first programmable computers z3 colossus and eniac guided missiles and modern rockets the manhattan project s development of nuclear weapons operations research the development of artificial harbours and oil pipelines under the english channel 462 463 although penicillin was discovered before the war the development of industrial production technology as well as the mass production and use began during the war 464 see also lists of world war ii topics world war iii hypothetical future global conflict notes while various other dates have been proposed as the date on which world war ii began or ended this is the period most frequently cited often abbreviated as wwii or ww2 the uk declared war on germany at 11 am france followed 6 hours later at 5 pm reparations were exacted from east germany hungary romania and bulgaria using soviet dominated joint enterprises the soviet union also instituted trading arrangements deliberately designed to favour the country moscow controlled the communist parties that ruled the satellite states and they followed orders from the kremlin historian mark kramer concludes the net outflow of resources from eastern europe to the soviet union was approximately 15 billion to 20
