The 8cm schwere Granatwerfer 34 (heavy grenade launcher model 1934) was the standard German medium mortar throughout World War II. It gained a reputation for extreme accuracy and rapid rate of fire although much of the credit should go to the training of the crews. The design of the weapon follows standard mortar design and it may be broken into three loads (barrel, bipod, baseplate) for transport.
