Mortar and Crew


The 560mm mortar had longer range than the 600mm version, they could have the barrels swapped out so either mortar could use either barrel.


The Germans used them against the Warsaw Ghetto.  


 The size of the explosive charge would be enough to bring down a whole block.


The Germans used them against the Ludendorf Bridge at Remagan when captured by the Americans.


They missed, but the cumulative damage caused by frogmen, mortars, jet bombers, and rockets took it's toll and the bridge collapsed.
