Historical Context
The Sturmtiger was a unique weapon crafted during the tumultuous days of the latter WWII. Based on the formidable Tiger I chassis, this armored fighting vehicle was equipped with an imposing 38cm rocket launcher, designed to cripple enemy fortifications. With a robust construction featuring 15cm frontal armor, it could withstand significant assaults. Only 18 units were manufactured before the war came to an end in 1944, illustrating its scarcity.
