Typical late war Tiger I, with an early turret on a late production chassis. Abandoned near Cologne, captured and moved to Sennelager barracks. This Tiger also appeared briefly in a 1950 British war film "They Were Not Divided".

That is the german equivivalent of the spigot mortar/flying dustbin?

No, it is against tanks. Like the Pak on Omaha, but for the heavy infantry gun.

Suppose won't be much tank left after that thing hits it

Wiki says that it is unlike other stielgranaten not intended for anti tank but for bunker busting and clearing wire and such.
Seeing it ways 90kg I wouldn't want to be the loader when the T34 s come swarming in. Can't imagine hitting anything non stationary with something that heavy attached to the barrel either.

Something like this, is what I thought.

Because shouldn't the existing 155mm shaped charge shells already powerful enough to bust a tank? Looking at the Russian SU152 even a big HE shell should destroy any tank. Therefore, I was wondering, what such a shell is even for.

Why settle for one tank when you can blow up a whole column with one shot!  ;)
