Description
The s.Gr.W.34 mortar, produced from 1934 to 1945, was in service with the Wehrmacht throughout the war. It was a standard means of fire support for German infantry battalions and allowed to successfully solve the combat tasks of ground units.
The firing range of the mortar was adjusted by changing the angle of the barrel and the amount of powder charge on the mine. Ammunition could include fragmentation, smoke, lighting and flying mines. A well-trained mortar fire could fire up to 25 shots per minute.
For transportation, the mortar, the total weight of which was about 60 kg, was disassembled into three parts and transported by the forces of the combat calculation. Mines were carried in boxes, three pieces in each.
