The Sturmtiger was a German assault gun built on the Panzer VI Tiger I chassis armed with a large naval mortar, the 38cm SturmM......rser RW61 L/5.4. Its primary task was to provide heavy fire support for infantry units fighting in urban areas.
The Sturmtiger was based on the late model Tiger I, keeping its hull and suspension. The front of the Tiger's superstructure was removed to make room for the new fighting compartment housing the rocket launcher/mortar. This was located directly at the front of the vehicle, giving it a boxy appearance.
The Sturmtigers were used in the defence of Germany in 1945, mainly if not exclusively at the Western front. They proved to be excellent defensive weapons, hard to destroy except by air attack or heavy artillery bombardment.
