Thank you eswube!

An other rare organisation with "Puma" armored heavy car.
The vehicle was created by reuse of VK 16.02 project turret on Sd.Kfz.234 8-wheels chassis.
The tactical use is classical to armored recon companies in armored Divisions. Only two were created following this design.

Thank you Hood.

The German Army rocket launcher units Nebeltruppen, originally designed to diffuse combat gas or artificial fog, will experience heavy use on the battlefield with explosive projectiles in the same role as artillery.
The so-called Nebeltruppe was formed in preparation for a possible chemical warfare, the designation served to cover up the actual purpose.
The 15cm Nebelwerfer 41 consisted of six tubes arranged in a circle, which had been mounted on the spreading carriage of the 3,7cm Pak.35/36.
In order to give the launchers greater mobility, ten tubes, five on top of each other, were combined and mounted on a rotating turret on a 3t half-track vehicle "Maultier" and called the whole Panzerwerfer 42.

One company can be attached to Werferbrigade, the rest of the brigade using 21cm and 30cm towed devices.

Chemical Warfare Units (Nebeltruppen)

"Usually, Chemical warfare battalions are allotted from General Headquarters to armies, corps, and divisions.
The standard tactical units of the chemical warfare troops are:

a. ROCKET PROJECTOR BATTALION (MOTORIZED) (Werferabteilung (mot.)).
b. HEAVY ROCKET PROJECTOR BATTALION (MOTORIZED (schwere Werferabteilung (mot.)).
c. MOUNTAIN ROCKET PROJECTOR BATTALION (Gebirgswerferabteilung).

The first two types of battalions are usually components of rocket-projector regiments, normally three battalions per regiment.
A rocket-projector battalion is designated heavy when it has more than one heavy-projector battalion (210, 300 or 280/320-mm).
Two rocket-projector regiments usually compose a rocket-projector brigade,[...].
Rocket-projector units until now have been employed in firing high explosive, incendiary, and smoke rockets, but all of them also are equipped and trained for gas warfare.
[...]
In addition to the above listed projector battalions, there is also an independent armored projector company (Panzerwerferbatterie) which is an independent unit of two platoons, each equipped with four 150-mm armored rocket projectors.
This is a 10-barrelled projector mounted on a medium armored carrier.
The company may be employed either attached to a projector battalion or as an independent company."

[TM-E 30-451 HANDBOOK ON GERMAN MILITARY FORCES 15 MARSH 1945]

Interestingly, each Batteries except mountaineers have an Panzerfaust AT team (until mid 1944 an AT Gun).

Mountain rocket-projector battalion (Gebirgs-Nebelwerferabteilung)

This battalion has the same functions but makes use of mules, horses and carts.
The batteries were equipped with 10 cm Nebelwerfer 35, an enlarged version of the standard 81-mm mortar, in appearance almost identical.
