Sturm

Super rare picture of the Sturmtiger attacking with the 380 mm Raketen-Werfer 61 L/5.4, a breech-loading rocket launcher, which fired short-range, rocket-propelled projectiles roughly 1.5 meters (59 in) long. There were a variety of rounds with a weight of up to 376 kilograms (830 lb), and a maximum range of up to 6000 meters, which either contained a high explosive charge of 125 kilograms (280 lb) or a shaped charge for use against fortifications, which could penetrate up to 2.5 meters (98 in) of reinforced concrete.
