War Production Board elevates heavy artillery to top priority
The War Production Board announced a sweeping shift placing heavy artillery on par with landing craft as the war's most urgent item. The move targets 155 mm and 8 inch guns and 240 mm Howitzers, reflecting lessons from Italy and Anzio where air power fell short and artillery dominated bottlenecks. Major George Artman’s report from Anzio described the beachhead as a "German artillery impact area" with no safe ground remaining.
