Flames of War German Fallschirmjäger Mortar Platoon

The elite German Fallschirmjäger relied on mortars to provide flexible and immediate fire support. Their 8cm mortars, nicknamed Stummelwerfer or “stump mortars” for their short barrels, were used at company and battalion level to bombard enemy positions and disrupt attacks. In Normandy, these weapons proved invaluable during the defense of Hill 192, where they fired into gullies to break up American assaults. Complementing them, the heavier 12cm regimental mortars delivered long-range bombardments capable of devastating infantry and fortifications, though they lacked the smoke-round versatility of the smaller mortars.
