Flames of War German Sturmtiger Assault Howitzer Platoon (2x)
Devastating Urban Firepower for Late-War German Forces
Historical Background:
The Sturmtiger was one of the most fearsome assault vehicles fielded by Germany during World War II. Designed for urban warfare and bunker-busting roles, the Sturmtiger was based on the Tiger I chassis and mounted a massive 38cm RW61 rocket-propelled mortar—originally a naval depth charge launcher. Only a handful of these vehicles were produced, and they saw limited but memorable combat during the Warsaw Uprising and the Battle of the Bulge. Each shot from the Sturmtiger could obliterate fortified positions and entire buildings, making it a psychological as well as physical weapon on the battlefield. Despite its limited mobility and ammunition capacity, the Sturmtiger represented the extreme end of Germany’s engineering solutions to a crumbling war front.

The Sturmtiger assault howitzers of Sturmmörserkompanie 1000 and 1001 were attached to 6. SS-Panzer Armee to take part in Wacht am Rhein (Watch on the Rhine, the Ardennes offensive) in mid-January 1944. However, it wasn’t until late-January that they joined the battle where they were engaged in fighting on the Eifel front around Duren and Euskirchen. They were earmarked to lay waste to Liege once the offensive had broken through the American line. However, circumstances dictated that most Sturmtiger engagements ended up being against Allied field forces rather than the bunkers and buildings they were designed for. These attacks made a significant impression on the few troops unfortunate enough to end up on the receiving end.
