Thanks for the complement but Mr. Still is the expert, I just read too much war stuff. The term "Minenwerfer" is the same as our mortars, also sometimes called "grenatenwerfer", defined as our 60mm,82mm & 4.2" mortars, basically means explosion thrower, much different from artillery type projectiles. Definite close (less than 1000 yds) combat unit. Are you looking for a Charlie Company gun now?
