SS115 - SS Mortar Crew Squad Leader with MP40 and Two Cases of Spare Ammo
Successful mortar operations depended upon more than accurate shooting. Every crew required a capable leader responsible for selecting targets, calculating firing data, coordinating with nearby infantry, and ensuring ammunition supplies kept pace with the demands of battle. These experienced squad leaders combined tactical awareness with practical leadership, often directing their crews under extremely hazardous conditions.
This figure portrays an SS mortar section leader armed with an MP40 submachine gun while carrying two cases of spare ammunition. The combination of leadership responsibilities and logistical support reflects the reality that officers and NCOs frequently shared the physical workload alongside the soldiers under their command, particularly during mobile operations.
The commanding pose, detailed uniform, and authentic equipment make this figure an outstanding focal point within a mortar team display. Whether preparing a firing position, directing supporting fire, or moving to a new location with his crew, the figure conveys both authority and determination.
Every successful support weapon relied upon experienced leadership, and this figure captures that responsibility perfectly. Collectors looking to build historically accurate mortar sections will appreciate the quality and realism found throughout the extensive military figure range available from The Military Workshop.
