The 21 cm Granatenwerfer 69 (Literally grenade thrower) was a mortar used by Germany during World War II. This weapon may also be known as the GR 19 and B 19.The prototype was built by Skoda as the 22 cm sGrW B 14 but was redesigned to 21 cm at OKH’s request to utilize existing ammunition. In firing position the wheels rested in shoes that rested on a semicircular rail track. The baseplate was attached to the mount by a ball joint to allow for traverse without reseating the baseplate.
