The 21 cm Granatwerfer 69 was a mortar used by Germany during World War II.
[1] The prototype was built by Skoda as the 22 cm sGrW B 14, but was redesigned to 21 cm at OKH's request to use existing ammunition.
Elevation was obtained by rack and pinion on the upright legs.
The firing mechanism was built into the breech ring and was of the continuous pull type.
It was designed to be towed as a complete unit, the baseplate riding above the tube.
