In their 1938 fiscal year report, Krupp revealed that it started with the design of a 105 mm K L/52 Selbstfahrlafette. The machine was known as “Dicker Max." It was armed with the 105mm K-18 L/52 Krupp. The gun was equipped with a muzzle brake with a double deflector; this weapon could penetrate 111 mm of shielding at a vertical angle of 30 degrees to 2000 meters. This Panzerjagder was slightly armored (10–50 mm), and the superstructure was open. The engine was the standard 12-cylinder (gasoline) Maybach HL 120, ensuring on the road a maximum speed of 40km/h. During the first months of the “Barbarossa” operation in Russia, they were assigned to the 521. One of them was destroyed in the battle and the other was lost in 1941. The two prototypes were very effective, but they countered all the models put into combat by the Russians at that time.
