The s.Gr.W.34 mortar, produced from 1934 to 1945, was in regular Wermacht service during World War II. It was a means of fire support for German infantry battalions and helped ground units with combat tasks. The range of the mortar was adjusted by changing the angle of the barrel and the amount of powder charge on the mine.
The ammunition could include fragmentation, smoke, lighting and bouncing bombs. A well-trained mortar crew could fire up to 25 shots per minute. For transportation, the mortar was disassembled into three parts and transported by the combat crew. The total weight of the mortar was about 60 kilograms. The mines were carried in boxes, with three pieces in each.
