<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Sturmtiger was armed with short-barrelled 38cm Raketenwerfer 61 L/5.4, breech-loaded mortar which launched a short-range (4600-6000 meters) high-explosive rocket projectile. Its armament was originally developed by Rheinmetall-Borsig from Kriegsmarine's depth charge launcher. For local defense 7.92mm MG34 was mounted in the 150mm thick front plate. Sturmtiger could demolish any building or other target with a single shot but it could only carry 14 rocket projectiles (345-351kg/each) in racks inside the superstructure (12 to 13 in the racks and one in the launcher). The vehicle was equipped with a hand operated lifting crane used to load the gun with the help of the entire crew. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

No idea. The day I visited there were food-stands and stuff all over the parking lot of the museum. Maybe they put it out in the open to attract more visitors to the museum.. :confused:

Yup, that's an Auburn alright. Supposedly an original (they have a white replica there as well).
Considering the ammount of plane replicas they have there, I wouldn't bet that the red Auburn is an original..

A friend over atAGW suggested that I should post these pics here as well.
