Then you were near to my home village, from here is the Deutches Panzermuseum only 40 min. away

Feel free to contribute your good links and precious info! Just don't scatter the thread, so that all stuff can be easily found again.

Thanks for the answers about the Sturmtiger. So it actually is kind of a rocket artillery/mortar

Yes , this shows it in action
There's very little actual footage of one in action , I was surprised I even found this bit.

Ah yes, I saw this too. I'd like to see it firing in slow motion.

The Sturmtiger is another example of bad late-war German tank designs. It was truly a fearsome weapon, but the Germans were never in a position to use it as intended.

Nice! I would like a quality die cast model of the Pz4 F2, Tiger, Panther, Jagdpanther or Flak 88, so I am going to look at those. The museum had a gift shop, but it looked pretty robbed, all I saw was a small StuG in metal, all the rest was plastic toyish stuff.

More pics:

T38 (this one was named Wilde Sau, meaning Wild Sheep, I reckon):


Me looking though the 75mm gun of a Panther:



88mm Flak:

Ive never seen that little thing at the end... what is it...:rotfl:

[Raptor1]

Remote-controlled mine, it explodes.

That A7V has to be one of the strangest tanks ever built...

Oh, T38? Don't you mean Panzer 38(t)?

[stabiz]

[Raptor1]

Oh, is that A7V an original tank or a replica? I heard only 1 survived and it's in Australia...

A "wilde Sau" has nothing to do with a sheep going amok, but it means (wild) sow. Explosive searching for truffles on my mind...

Hehe, that was a very disappointing explanation. Wild sheep!
