Of course 350 kilo wasn't the weight of the projectile, but of the complete round. That explains a lot.

There is a third at the Deutsches Panzermuseum Munster in Munster Germany

It looks like a nice museum but I couldn't see a Sturmtiger in the website. Am I being blind? Guinnog 01:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

A google search came up it is or was the Sturmtiger from the Sinsheim Museum. Maybe it is still there or moved back, I don't know. --Denniss 09:56, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I was there three weeks ago..there is one. I have a photo of myself beside it. I have contacted the museum to see if it is a loaner from perhaps Sinheim. I have also requested hull number and history...pending the reply I am holding off on the edit  ;)

You've got a picture? Is it good enough to put in the article? --Carnildo 06:50, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Photo is good except I'm in it... Motorfix 12:14, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I like the fact that there's someone in the picture. It gives a sense of scale that's lacking in the photos currently in the article. --Carnildo 01:56, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, what monsters these tanks have been, especially the Tiger series but also the Panther. --Denniss 16:34, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Feel free to include this pic in the artical if anyone feels it could be used. Motorfix 22:52, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: "and one at the Deutsches Panzermuseum Munster."

This was a loaner from Sinsheim Museum. Only two after all.

[edit] Armament

According to another source, the weapon was adapted from a mortar that was planned to give submarines a surface attacking ability. AllStarZ 21:31, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
