9 cm Granatwerferträger 69

The 9 cm Granatwerferträger 69 ( abbrev. 9 cm GrWT 69) is a self-propelled mortar carrier, mounting the automatic 9 cm MGrW 66 gun-mortar. The GrWT 69 designation refers to any 6x6 or 4x4 general-purpose utility vehicle mounting the weapon, but usually refers to the version mounted on the leichter Lastkraftwagen 6x6 (2t). The platform was introduced to replace the dismounted 9 cm mortars that had been used by Goetic motorized, airborne, and light infantry units at the battalion level. It is capable of firing indirectly at high angles, as well as in a direct fire mode.
