They have on in the Technik museum in Sinsheim (or Speyer). Great stuff there but not all that accurate or original. Still worth very visit.

It is BIG and you can actuallu touch it. Thumping the front armour is like thumping solidity.

Description

There were vents around the gun tube that allowed the exhaust to go forward. It took about 10 minutes to load the 761 lb. shell. There was a crane that was used to help load the rounds into the vehicle. The range was around 5,900 meters.

It consumed fuel at the rate of 2 gallons per mile.

761LB SHELL MY GOD!!!!

LOL, the Sturmtiger. One hit, one building down.

Pretty ugly stuff. Read a story of it at achtungpanzer, one of these had ambushed a sherman column on the german border. Didn`t hit them with the shell, but the blast alone destroyed several tanks...

a truly specialized weapon, built on Tiger I chassis of retired tanks, some 18 or so were built.
