I've read a fair amount about the Katyusha rocket artillery based on the Studebaker or Zis truck chassis but recently I had read that the "Stalin Organ" was also placed on tanks or tractors. Can anyone verify this?

The only tank I've ever heard of armed with the Stalin Organ was the experimental KV-6 Behemoth but were there any more common tanks armed with this rocket artillery? I can't seem to find anything on the internet and I'm a student so I don't have spare cash for books on the subject.

Any help would be appreciated, pictures would be even better.

Thanks

Internet, sorry can't remember which site.
Try googling "Russian Artillery" "Russian Rockets" WWII rockets"
