Sturmtiger Action!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- One of the weirdest tanks used by the Germans in WWII, the Sturmtiger was a massive rocket propelled mortar mounted on a Tiger I hull. Devastating when used properly, only 19 examples of this odd creation were built, all seeing action, particularly on the Western Front during the last months of the war.

At last a documentary without inane rock music all the way through. Concise, informative and no drama. Thank you. Look forward to future videos.
When a KV-2 and Sturmtiger shells meet, all life will be deleted
I'd love to drive one of these to work tomorrow and ask for a raise.
Promethean Ubermensch lol
And if not... there wouldnt be a building to work in afterwords anyways. If u know what i mean ;D!
I'm always amazed at the archival footage that you include in these videos.
Would not of liked to be on the receiving end of that, one monster of a weapon.
Check out the Vindicator Siege Tank. SciFi version of this 😎
The Chieftain would describe it as a "serious emotional event."
It would be very interesting to hear radio transmissions of soldiers in the field of their first reactions of not knowing what in the world they just came across. Seems like there were a ton of newly invented weapons in WW2 with equally “what the hell is that?” reactions.
There is a great video with radio transmission of a B-17 pilot asking "WTH was THAT?" when a Me 262 blasts through their formation. The final months were like a bad sci-fi for the Allies.
Mark there is a ww1 german sub in the middle of lake michigan...many of your subscribers haven't heard of it,it could be a nice addition to your list of shows!
@Rob Trubiano : Do a Google search for UC-97 in Lake Michigan. 🙂
@Rob Trubiano it was sunk as a target for the US navy, so it's literally IN the lake XD

How the fuck would that have happened
2:24 Little fact about the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. The Pols rebelled when they knew the Soviets were close enough in order to assist the Red Army by getting German units involved in combat on the rear of their units engaging the Soviets. Stalin, being a SOB, ordered his army to stop advancing so the Germans could wipe out the Pols, who he saw as an enemy (Nationalist Polish Government) since intended to occupy Poland indefinitely after the war.
I wish there was more combat footage of these tanks, they’re so cool looking.
You forgot to mention that the gunner's escape point in case of fire is the barrel.
your videos are incredibly informative and tell the stories that would otherwise probably never be told. please keep it up!
I certainly will! Thanks for the kind words
I saw the Sturmtiger in Munster. This thing is huuuuuge. The Sturmtiger alone, was well worth the trip. And they have much more interesting stuff there.
3:23 & 3:43, pity the crew didn't have a makeshift white flag to wave from the tank, seemed to be an honourable crew not wanting to needlessly destroy civilian infrastructure.
It has not been at Kubina tank museum since 2017.
It was moved down the road to Patriot Park. Different museum.
Great videos - telling some of the untold stories of war. Your work deserves great praise for its presentation, high production values. You are a great story teller.
You are too kind
These would of been great besieging Leningrad or in Stalingrad not on the defensive
The weapon is so cool. The fact the mortar is rocket propelled just makes this so much cooler. I'm surprised no modern army has a similar weapon for city fighting maybe with a turret, or even not, if it had a turret maybe a 275mm rocket propelled mortar. Put it on a Leopard 2, Abrams or even T-72/T-90. Make the front and top armour really thick, with anti-rpg screening , would be a great city fighting juggernaut. We do have the BMPT-72 Termintor tank tho in the Russian, Belorussian and other armies, apparently it's great against militants in Syria, much more effective at urban warfare than a t-72/t-90
One of or the best History learning channel on YT. Thanks for that.
You say that it was mounted on the hull of a Tiger I, but the pictures suggest it was a hull of a King Tiger. The tracks, the front and the rear of the hull are the design of the King Tiger.
tigor gang
All hail the mighty Tigor
*salutes* what are you doing here, your highness?
Another great video mark. Another similar Panzer to consider ( for a future video ) would be the Sturmpanzer aka Brummbär.
I'm looking into it
Mark does a great job with his videos. Well detailed. Incredible real video footage and a voice for it. Thanks Mark.
Even on a channel that has solid information like this one you still find several idiots commenting “first” like it means something. Anyway, love the channel, hope you stick with it, you will be one of the big ones.
2nd
Don't be shy, admit you're jelous.
Triggered
Perfect video lengths for your subjects and you always pick something interesting to cover. Sort of reminds me of when the History Channel was good. Keep it up dude 👍
You make such high-quality videos, and they’re uploaded so frequently! Absolutely amazing.
Wow. A frightening weapon. Great story. Thanks.
Having served as an army officer I cannot imagine staring down the barrel of that mortar!
Fantastic as always thank you
Fascinating mini docs, very well put together. Thanks M Felton.
Thank you for watching
Thank you Mark !! Your channel is one of the best history channel on UA-cam if not the best . I try to spread the word . You deserve lot more subscriber . Keep up the good work . Cheers mate .
Oh i have another suggestion . Heinrich Severloh : The beast of Omaha
You deserve way more subscribers , keep up the good work.
Quite unfortunate that two crew members died while dismounting given that the tank commander had taken the decision not to cause unnecessary damage to the area.
I'm guessing that tank crews don't carry white flags on board.
First! whenever i see your name under a new upload i dont hestitate for a single second! You can make anything interesting. Whenever any other channel uploads something similar i rarely view it. Your content is something different and i'm positive you'll grow much more over the next few months!
have you seen the documentry: Hitler's steelbeast.. there is he also in
I thought i was the only one who waits "impatiently " each week for the latest new upload. fascinating
I love using it in battlefield 5
This thing was a beast! I didn’t know that it weighed the same as a king tiger! Wow thanks for sharing.
Fun fact : each Sturmtiger had a different number of holes in the main gun’s barrel than the last one.
Thank you for saying where the remaining tanks are now, so I can see one on display in a museum.
my favorite tank so far
Today I learned something, thx Mark!
TY for all your hard work and content contributions.
I bet that beast could rattle a few windows!
Excellent video Mark! Thank you. I love Sturmtigers and even built a small model of one.
Always enjoy your videos
Good information
Thanks
One of the most interesting weapons the German's created.
MARK FELTON ROCKS !!!!
Felton does do good work. He's to the point and accurate.
Tbh the second world War was such a good time for tanks because they were constantly being evolved and some rare and beautiful tanks were made
That vehicle is one hell of a game changer.
Mark, beside the great quality of your videos, I am still highly impressed by your almost perfect pronounciation of German expressions. And would even go that far to assume that you have a multilingual background?
Your wonderful WWII videos have helped me understand the German's weapons more than anything else. Thanks!
Neat account. My applause also goes to the gentleman who created Stretton die cast models. His creations were and ARE absolutely brilliant, one of his Sturmtkgers I was lucky enough to be able to buy a few years hence.
Interesting if they would’ve been used in Stalingrad...
I have always wanted to know more about the grenade launcher that the Sturmtigers had for self defense, but can not find good information on it. The "
100 mm grenade launcher
(using SMi 35 leaping mines)."
Did it just shoot "bouncing Bettie's" that detonated in the air?
When you see their rockets explode....that is half what a depth charge does....as that was what it's launcher came from.
Again you greatly expanded my knowledge of this rare tracked monster.
Thanks
The Germans really came up with some unique ideas.
One small note: The German Tank Museum (Deutsches Panzermuseum) is located in the (small) city of Munster, not M*ü*nster! Although similar names, those two cities have nearly nothing in common and are 200km away from each other. :)
Even the British and American fan boys jaws are hitting the floor on this one.
Another good vid mark keep them coming mate you have a good speaking voice well matched to doing the voice overs of your well researched vids
Brilliant a proper well arrange presentation, most enjoyable.
Thanks a lot
You have done it again, thanks!
Many thanks
Holy moly what a beast.
Can we have this as a TD in world of tanks please.
The German tankmuseum is in Munster not Münster. Nice movies.👍
Its a common mistake... and most people can't pronounce it differently.
You are right, I was about to write the same. On the other hand, though: It shows how good he is, when pronouncing the wrong town almost perfectly. That's a bonus, when in too many videos even the spelling is messed up (like confusing 'ei' and 'ie' etc.).
Like the Munsters?
@@JeanLucCaptain nice one 😃
@@JeanLucCaptain Exactly...monastry towns, one is the old Gailic kingdom in Ireland...as in "It's a long way, to Tipperary" st Pat built monastries there but it's a chicken egg thing for the name..the other is in North West Germany and is definatly named from the word for monastary....monastic as with Monastir...etc.
thanks
Whoa 😮 I listened this a few more times to make sure I heard it right. One of these destroyed 3 Sherman’s and a few other vehicles with ONE shot !?!
Pretty awsome. Would be neat to see the loading procedure
"Sturmtiger Action!", that's what she said. ; )
Happiness is a warm Sturmtiger.
Captain Eric Brown RN said he was shocked when they found the extent of German jet development at the end of the war, imagine if they'd had another year to get this sort of gear like Sturmtigers up and running in large numbers, along with jets. Little Boy and Fat Man delivery would have been essential.
And yet a British RAF jet flew in 1940! They had operational jets before the war ended but were not permitted to fly in case they were shot down and the planes (or their remains) were captured. Sounds kind of crazy but when you consider the allies had air superiority anyway, there wasn't a mad rush (or a need) to reveal new technology. It was probably more important at the time to keep the stuff out of Russian hands, and yet what happens? The UK govt goes and gives the Russians a Rolld Royce jet engine! That's why the MiGs were so superior in the early part of the Korean war.
The Germans were so ahead of everyone then, but taking on the world, practically solo, was not sustainable
Well this video lead me on a two hour reading blitz on the web. What a machine. Cheers!
wouldn’t have looked out of place with Hobart’s funnies developed for the D day landings but I suspect the sturmtiger carried more punch than the British flying dustbin - what do you think Mark ?
More history I didn't know about.
I was always fascinated with this weapon as a kid , still am .
That stubby gun looks like a pipe from a storm sewer.
I would like to watch a full length documentary done by you.
Perhaps one day - the one's I make at the moment take a fair amount of doing and I don't want to pad things out unnecessarily.
When a tank becomes lovable.
There are reports of pzwgn sturmtigers close to Warsaw during uprising.God only knows how many pounds and pounds of bombs, he and artillery shells did that beautiful city had to withstand.Never forget.
I didn't expect that - normally any in depth look at a German heavy makes it look stupid but I've now got a soft spot for this one.
Super hyped for your videos!!!! Keep it up
Interesting slice of information there, well presented.
Thanks. Seen a photo before & was always curious.
Great channel mate
Thanks
I didn't know the round from this tiger was rocket propelled, great video.
Awesome video! Love listetning about combat actions, thanx! :D
I still cant imagine how painfull it would be taking a full shell into the chest
Fantastic as always.
Thanks
saw that one in the Munster museum in Germany, the shells and the barrel are ridiculously huge. Btw its parked next to a Tiger 2.
A lot of BANG for their bucks with this baby! One heck of a whallup! Too little too late, thank goodness. Used in the right places, with ample supplies, this could easily have been a game changer!
*thicc boi tank*
I still wonder if the heavy armor isnt completely useless when you have a 40cm hole in your front armor?
And with a round loaded if its not even more vunerable since you probably just need to hit the round with an AT-Rifle to blow this thing into the void
The glitch is that you have to stare down the barrel to make that work. No thank you.
Nice footage video thanks for...what strange not usually design 👍👍
you make some great films mark.
I try my best - thanks for your support
I’d love to drive this on the I10 through Phoenix, during rush hour.
This strange beast would be a great piece to be added to world of tanks game!
The sturmtiger body looks like a tiger tank, the mortar gun looks devastating
Get a load of how firing the main gun even rocks the cameraman who’s about 100 yards away from the thing when it fires
Excellent vids. thanks for sharing.
Thank you
Great video
Seen the actual gun and shell at bovington tank museum!
