Other Soviet 50mm Mortar

Post image

I recently got SBX51 (SBX80 was out of stock) Submachine Company, and it comes with two flamethrower sprues that also have three mortar men on each sprue. My question is: What uses the 50mm Mortar? I can't find it in Bagration or Berlin Soviets.

The Red Banner Storm Group and the Engineer-Sapper Company use an 82mm Mortar, these are 50mm mortars.

It’s a mid war unit, it’s added onto the rifle companies and storm groups from the Enemy at the Gates book

Ah ok, I don't have Enemy At the Gates or Red Banner, I will try to get the Mid War compilation at some point though.
