12cm sGW43 Heavy Mortar (FJ) (GE568)
Full Platoon – Four mortars, Command & Observers.

The 12cm heavy mortar gave German infantry units a support weapon with greater firepower than other mortars commonly in service at the time such as the 8cm GW42 medium mortar. At the end of the Normandy campaign, the Fallschirmjäger units replaced their old 10.5cm NbW35 heavy mortars with the 12cm sGW43 heavy mortar. This made ammunition supply easier and increased its effectiveness in combat.
