Hi Chris,

yes, indeed, and that is why it was fired from the parapet of the trench in the dunes at the Belgian coast, when there was no base plate.

Chris,

I used to have a Granatwerfer Taube in my possession, the launcher itself is heavy enough to be fired without the base plate (no, I didn't try to fire it)

Fuzes heavy and medium Minewerfer (middle), and light Minenwerfer.

Hello,

Does anyone have the story of the 20th Landwehr Division, covering the period 1916-1917 in Flanders, or the regimental history of 384, 385 or 386 Landwehr Rgt?

Regards,

Cnock

Granatwerfer 'Taube'

HI,

Spigot and Priest mortars are Granatwerfer, not Minenwerfer

Hi Chris,

This entry was about a member of a M. G. Scharfschuetzen Abteilung,

i also looked up somebodys Militaerpass who was with a M.G. Kompagnie of I.R. 389 ( for example)

he was transferred to IR 389 as M.G. Schuetze, indicated : versetzt zum ERS. M.G. K von A.K. (21) at Saarbruecken, and ausgebildet am MG 08 und mit Pistole 08. No school indicated

Another one of I.R. 114, ausgebildet Ers M.G.K 20 Armee Korps, mit Gewehr 98, Kar 98, MG 08, MG 08/15, Pistole 08. No school indicated.

M.G Scharfschuetzen underwent training at special schools, they were more highly trained than the regimental M.G. gunners
