In 1941 German designers produced a prototype tank destroyer vehicle design based on a Pzkpw IV Ausf D chassis in combination with a modified Kanone 18 10.5cm gun to produce what has come to be known as the K.Pz.Sfl.IVa “Dicker Max”. The Dicker Max was developed at roughly the same time as its bigger brother, the Sturer Emil, and 2 prototype vehicles were produced for evaluation purposes. Both vehicles were sent to the Eastern Front to Pz.Jg.Abt. 521 where they served with distinction. One of the vehicles was destroyed in combat with the other returned to Juterbog in 1942 and withdrawn from service.
