The 20 cm leichter Ladungswerfer (20 cm leLdgW) was a spigot mortar used by Germany during World War II. It was used by engineers to demolish obstacles and strongpoints. It was gradually withdrawn from front-line service from 1942.Propellant was placed at the top of the spigot and ignited when the projectile slid far enough down the spigot to complete the circuit.
