The Sturmtiger or Sturmmörserwagen 606/4 mit 38 cm RW 61 was built on the Tiger I chassis and armed with a 380mm rocket-propelled mortar.

The to Sturmmörserwagen was designed in 1943 to provide heavy fire support for infantry units fighting in urban areas. 12 vehicles were planned and only three Sturmtigers were completed by Alkett in August 1944, all were completed on Tiger I tanks that were damaged in battle and salvaged and a few were built in December of 1944 and at the end of the war only 18 were produced all on old used Tiger I Chassis.
