Possibly, if it's on the Western Front... It could be in Warsaw instead, but I doubt it. Add to it that, since the Sturmtiger was designed for fighting in urban areas, it's in its natural environment here, and one AFV is hard to spot from the air in the middle of town... Any pilot flying low enough to see it would be awfully busy ducking all the Flak being thrown up from the supporting ADA units nearby so tank-plinking wouldn't be advisable... The only way it'd likely be threatened from the air was if the Allies had eyes on it from the ground and had some fighter-bombers on-station nearby... It's also pretty obvious from the off-loaded fuel cans that the track went to the mechs, rather than the mechs going to the track, so it's probably a fair distance from the outskirts of town...
Things seem to be quiet at this time, as evidenced by the Volksgrenadier talking with the Sturmtiger's TC, perhaps showing him where his troops are positioned, so I'm guessing that this is, indeed, taking place in Germany proper...
