WWII Romanian Mortar Team

Romanian mortar teams supported infantry formations with high-angle fire during the Second World War. Their weapons could reach positions hidden by terrain while remaining more portable than many field-artillery pieces. Romania’s army fought first alongside Germany against the Soviet Union and, after the 1944 change of government, against German forces. A mortar crew’s uniform and weapon details therefore require attention to period and unit rather than assuming one unchanged wartime arrangement. During the Eastern Front campaigns, mortar fire supplemented limited artillery resources. In the later fighting westward, the crews served within a changed strategic alliance. Crew training remained essential to accurate fire.
