Russian WW2 Mortar Team - Greatcoat

Soviet mortar teams supplied infantry formations with high-angle fire during the Second World War. The Red Army employed different mortar calibers for different levels of support, so a generic team does not identify one exact weapon. Greatcoats indicate a clothing configuration associated with cold or transitional conditions rather than a separate branch. Mortar crews relied on ammunition carriers, observation, and communication to sustain their work, even when positioned close enough to support rapidly changing infantry engagements.

High-angle fire helped reach areas protected from direct rifle or gun fire. The crew’s ability to shift ammunition and adjust quickly to new instructions made mortars valuable in both attack and defense.
