The super-heavy mortars were not mounted on StuG chassies! Definitely not! A StuG was an assault gun, essentially a support gun mounted on a standard German tank chassis (i believe a Panzer IV, but it may have been a Panzer III -- it depends on whether the StuG was a StuG III or IV). Anyway, the super-heavy mortars were mounted on massive tracked platforms that could hook up to railway bogeys for transportation. The mortars were 600mm calibre, i believe, and were used variously on the eastern front and during the battle of the bulge as well.
Interesting video, thanks!
Hey man stay calm the video wasn't so clear to see the chasis...but from the rear it looked like the chasis of a stug 3 and i know that stug 3 was an antitank tank..but maybe i'm wrong i forget to put an "i think" but it's ok...when i will find that video i will show...u maybe i'm right maybe i'm wrong...
best regards
