Notes | The Wz.36 was a light platoon mortar which was designed and produced in Poland. It was not as powerful as the 50mm/2in mortar from the period and was also not as accurate, but it was light and straight forward to use. It was issued at platoon level and equipped ten man mortar section led by a corporal. |
