ww2dbase82-PM-41 mortars were designed between 1940 and 1941, and the production began in 1941. Compared to their 82-BM-37 predecessors, they enjoyed removable wheel bases, lighter weight, and cheaper production cost. In 1943, production ceased as they were superseded by the 82-PM-43 design which addressed the instability problem with 82-PM-41. 82-PM-41 mortars were typically assigned to infantry battalions, with each mortar operated by a typical crew of four. They were used widely during the battles at Moscow, Stalingrad, Kursk, and other locations in the Soviet Union particularly in the early half of the European War. After the war, many surplus 82-PM-41 mortars were given or sold to Communist nations such as Czechoslovakia, Communist China, East Germany, Poland, Vietname, among others.Source: Wikipedia ww2dbase
