The proximity fuze used in WWII | #shorts #foryou

The proximity fuze was a revolutionary development in artillery and anti-aircraft munitions. Unlike traditional contact fuzes, it detonated a shell when it came within a certain distance of its target, significantly increasing the likelihood of a hit. This technology was especially effective against fast-moving aircraft and played a crucial role during events like the Battle of the Bulge.

The proximity fuze was created in 1940. The National Defense Research Council (NDRC) formed Section T in August 1940 to create the proximity fuze.
