EXHIBIT #37

LONG SPZ 120-MM MORTAR CARRIER WEST GERMANY

The Spz Mortar Carrier originally carried an 81-mm mortar. The mortar carrier variant, as you can see, was based on the Hispano-Suiza 30 Spz with a 20-mm auto-cannon. Other variants were the combat vehicle for Tank Grenadiers, Command Vehicles, Tank Hunters with 106-mm Recoilless Rifles, Fire Control Tanks (Forward Looking Observers), Tank Destroyers with an SS-11 anti-tank missile system.

In 1966, the Spz mortar carrier was upgraded to the 120-mm mortar, which is this vehicle on exhibit. The 120-mm wasn’t limited of ammo. In this exhibit, there is a mortar round-rack capable of carrying up to 50+ rounds.
