3d panzerwerfer 42 german half-tracked model - Panzerwerfer 42 German half-tracked multiple rocket launcher WWII by De Espona

Panzerwerfer is the name for two different types of half-tracked multiple rocket launchers employed by Nazi Germany during the Second World War. The two self-propelled artillery vehicles are the 15cm Panzerwerfer 42 auf Selbstfahrlafette Sd.Kfz.4/1 (based on the Opel Maultier, or 'mule', half-track) and 15cm Panzerwerfer 42 auf Schwerer Wehrmachtsschlepper (or Panzerwerfer auf SWS). Some other Panzerwerfers also have a mounted machinegun above the cockpit.
