I'm surprised it was designed and built so late in the war. I thought by that time the assault gun concept had failed. Plus with Germany shifting to defense why would they need assault guns.
5:20 that crane is for aiding with getting the rockets from outside the vehicle into the vehicle using the hatch in the roof. It was not used for reloading the gun. You got that reload from the Company of Heroes videogame
@@lada_niva_1.7i it's two humans actually, the vehicle has 2 loaders. I don't have a source but it's pretty well known that reloading the vehicle with the crane is misconception. To the point a quick Google search on the matter will show you. It's not something obscure you have to go digging for the info.
@@lada_niva_1.7i also the rockets aren't man-handled into the 'breech' / rocket tube. There is a "loading tray fitted with rollers" (-Tank Museum website) that leads into the breech. But also its evident from looking at the outside of the Sturmtiger that the crane can't access the ammunition racks on either side of the hatch. The long and thin hatch opens over the loading tray in line with the gun, but the stored rounds are on either side, so picking them up with the crane would mean lifting diagonally with the cable scraping on the edge of the hatch. If the reload was meant to be done with the crane they would have just designed hatches over the ammo racks too so they could lift up and across onto the tray.
Note: The outside crane was temporarily and was only used to load the ammo into the vehicle. It was dismantled after. Reloading the gun after firing while in action was done by using a trolley crane bolted to the ceiling inside the vehicle. (Using the outside crane in combat would make absolutely no sense.)
Sturmtiger was basically the German late-war "solution" of dropping a 300 kg bomb on specified targets, but without using a fighter-bomber plane, and by that comparison its accuracy was not too poor. Similarly to the German V-2 rockets replacing actual bombers in bombing cities at last years of war, the German developed such exotic designs when there were more straightforward or practical solution were simply put, such solution was practical no longer in face of resource shortage, mainly fuel and thus the disappearance of German planes and trained pilots in latter war years.
This was a very interesting video, well done Simple History. The Sturmpanzer was without a doubt a huge war machine(maybe the Germans were compensating for something) and the thumbnail of Goring getting stuck in the barrel(which also happens in the video) was hilarious🤣.
I'd love to see a Cross Section video of the Ratte. Despite pretty much nothing being known about it, it's fun to speculate how it'd look and perform on the inside.
I think this is going to be one of the next tanks I build. I recently got mr. Mike Rinaldi’s Book (SM.04) where he does an insanely detailed build of a brumbar so I want to build one of these stubby boys with this crazy camo.
the sturmmörser tiger wasn't made for close-range combat at all because of it's chells: it was huge rockets that if it was shot in small spaces, the tank that launches would be destroyed itself. It was made of an ¨self propelled assault heavy cannon made for anti concrete and infantry launcher.
@@emberfist8347 they wanted to use a smaller gun but they weren’t available in sufficient numbers, as said in the video. And the armor was necessary for its intended role
As soon as they said about preservation, I thought I'd hear Bovington. It's a shame they only got the gun but cool there's something of this machine represented there.
Very good job dudes and well done!! Congratulations 995.95% yo throughout the 3rd week of said marvelous May. Finally, I get my dose of simple history.
Can you cross sections on the tiger 1 and 2 please i have been wanting this for a long time i have subscribed and liked every video i have watched of you i am requesting as a big fan
The dead tank animations have always been good, but the tanks literally disintegrating after being hit by the Sturmtiger is both hilarious and probably accurate
Oh come on. Again? The outside crane was only used to load shells into the tank from outside. The actual reload is done internally. When can we finally eliminate this misconception. (But it sure looks cool ngl)
Well Goring was inspecting the new Sturmtiger when Hitler came by while the former was inside. Goring stuck his head out of the barrel to greet Hitler. Hitler thought to himself “This is getting out of hand, now he has an entire assault gun draped around his neck.
German Ghost tank, designed to produce a loud "ooooh" sound to make Polish resistance forces suspect the forests were haunted by spooky ghosts (Warsaw, 1944)
Germany making an assault gun right when it’s on the defensive, and will be on the defensive for the rest of the war, is proof of how disconnected the high command was from the reality of the war.
I got a question. Will you be making a video of the OAS? The reason I ask is because I’m currently reading the novel ‘The Day Of The Jackal’ by Frederick Forsythe. I’m halfway through the book and it opened of with a brief history lesson and further tidbits of information on the organization
I figured the weakness of the Sturmtiger would be the fact that the Tiger's engines constantly wore down and was in constant demand for spare parts. I didn't know it needed a crane to re arms its main gun with its 760-pound shells (presumably they are too heavy to lift by hand). On top of that if this animation is correct, the crane is outside the vehicle, making it an easy target.
The external crane was for restocking shells. There is another crane inside the vehicle that assisted the loading of the projector so that no one was exposed during the process. Well, aside from the front as there’d be a 38cm hole briefly for the next rocket to be loaded.
@@theworldsthreat Oh OK, so it's not as dumb as this animation makes it look. it "only" has the weaknesses of no horizontal traverse plus the usual Tiger engine problems.
@@alex_zetsu Yes. The engine and transmission problems would be worse from the added weight too. On a side note: The projector also takes a couple minutes to reload, not a half hour or so. I’ve seen many people claim it took forever to reload but that isn’t true either.

Why is Göring pictured on the Thumbnail?
I guess because the barrel was big enough to fit a normally sized person, but göring was not normally sized.
He was mostly aerial, but they had to stuck him in a tank when there was no air raid, in order not to float away.
