it's the rear end of a panzerwerfer 42 on an SWS isn't it? Dumb.

Looks like a nublewefer on a panzer IV
Kirk Douglas : Mine hit the ground first
John Wayne : Mine was taller

almost, I think it's the panzerwerfer 42 on the SWS halftrack., going by what I can see of the road wheels.

PH, I thought it was a nebel on a panzer iv too at first but upon inspection ii think it's the back end of a panzerwerfer 42 mounted on SWS halftrack.
