In their report for fiscal year 1938, Krupp revealed that construction had begun on a 10.5 cm K L/52 self-propelled gun.
The vehicle was known as the “Dicker Max”.
She was armed with the 10.5 cm K 18 L/52 Krupp.
The weapon was equipped with a double deflector muzzle brake and was capable of penetrating 111 mm of armor at a vertical angle of 30 degrees up to 2000 meters.
This tank destroyer was lightly armored (10-50 mm) and the superstructure was open.
The engine was the standard Maybach HL 120 with 12 cylinders (petrol), which guaranteed a top speed of 40 km/h on the road.
In the first months of Operation Barbarossa in the Soviet Union they were assigned to Abt. 521.
One of the two prototypes was destroyed in battle and the other was lost in 1941.
Both were very effective and could compete with any tank sent into combat by the Russians at the time.
