That’s a Sturmtiger, armed with a 38 cm SturmMörser naval mortar (does SturmMörser mean Storm Mortar?). I saw that particular one at the Deutsches Panzermuseum in Munster, Germany when my dad was stationed near there.

Well, to stand a chanche against a close-quarters infantry assault. You may check out what happened to german’s Ferdinands / Elephants during the Battle of Kursk 🙂

Mortar rounds are great against infantry and armor over extended distances, however cannot be effectively used against infantry at close range without possibly blowing yourself up.

You can’t aim the big one at EVERY little fly, can you?

At least to the front, where you wouldn’t wanna run around in combat.
