The project for a self-propelled 380mm self-propelled rocket mortar on the Tiger tank chassis was presented at a German armaments meeting in August 1943, followed by a building of a mockup prototype to present to Adolf Hitler.
The mass production of the vehicle started in August 1944.
The first prototype of the Sturmtiger took its baptism of fire in the suppression of the Warsaw uprising.
Later, this vehicle was captured by the Red Army and is currently on display in Kubinka museum near Moscow.
Serial vehicles fought on the Western front, including battles in the Ardennes.
One of the serial Sturmtigers is on display at the German Panzer Museum in Munster.
