    This is the only known footage of a Sturmmoersertiger in combat; taken during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1944.

    YouTube - STURMTIGER - RARE FILMING - at the Warsaw uprising

    Also used in the uprising, although not shown in the video, was the 600mm Karl train mortar, shown in this photo firing it's massive gun into the Polish lines:

    and a video of the Karl at Warsaw as well:

    Incredible machines, although their combat effectiveness was low and they were incredibly expensive.
