SS113 - Soldier Carrying Mortar Tube - SS Mortar Team
Infantry mortars earned a reputation as one of the most reliable and adaptable support weapons of the Second World War. Their ability to provide rapid, accurate indirect fire made them invaluable to infantry commanders, while their relatively simple construction allowed crews to dismantle and transport the weapon quickly as the battle evolved.
This figure depicts an SS soldier carrying the mortar tube, the central component of the weapon around which the remainder of the system was assembled. Responsible for transporting this critical piece of equipment across difficult terrain, soldiers undertaking this role ensured the mortar could be rapidly redeployed wherever supporting fire was required.
The detailed sculpt effectively conveys the weight and balance of the mortar barrel while maintaining the authentic appearance of a German infantryman in the field. Combined with the base plate carrier, bipod carrier, ammunition bearers, and squad leader, the figure becomes part of a complete mortar section that accurately reflects wartime organisation.
For collectors seeking to build realistic infantry support units, few additions are more rewarding than a fully assembled mortar team. The Military Workshop offers an extensive range of historically inspired military figures, enabling enthusiasts to recreate every element of World War II infantry operations with remarkable attention to detail.
