The best source on-line appears to be: http://www.4point2.org/ This provides details of the weapon itself, as well as of the units that were equipped with it. http://www.4point2.org/mortar42.htm Although intended to deliver a variety of chemical warheads, hence its name, these "with the exception of smoke shells, were never fired. It was the HE shell which gained for the mortar the high regard of infantrymen." On the 96th itself: http://www.4point2.org/96cmb.htm Which shows their arrival in France as March 1945, and has a very detailed account of one sub-unit.
