Thanks

dont b confused by the insignia there were no ss divisions with sturms, just reguler panzer units

2 platoons if I recall - 1001 and 1002

there were only 18 made, so they were never going to equip 3 companies

Three new Panzer companies were raised to operate the Sturmtiger: Panzer Sturmmörser Kompanien (PzStuMrKp) (Armored Assault Howitzer Company) 1000, 1001 and 1002. These originally were supposed to be equipped with fourteen vehicles, but this figure was later reduced to four each, divided into two platoons

They would probably have been artillery with red piping as opposed to pink for Panzer pay no attention to the propaganda picture of the crew in black, will look through some books later
