While still fighting in Poland in September 1939, the German High Command looked ahead to the coming battle with France and ordered a vehicle for use against the fortifications of the Maginot Line. In response, Krupp set about designing a self-propelled 10.5cm gun based on a Panzer IV tank chassis. The new vehicle’s rotund profile quickly gained it the nickname ‘Dicker Max’ (‘Fat Max’).The two prototypes were assigned to the 521st Heavy Tank-hunter Battalion for a planned attack on Gibraltar. When this was cancelled, they were assigned to the 3rd Panzer Division for Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union. One Dicker Max was lost in an ammunition explosion and the other returned to the factory in October 1941 after three months in combat.

Eastern Front: Mid-war Forces
Despite being thrown back from the gates of Moscow in the winter offensive, the Germans were back on the attack in the summer of 1942 with their Hungarian and Romanian allies, advancing deep into Russia and setting up the epic confrontation at Stalingrad. Meanwhile up north, the Finnish army heroically held off repeated Soviet attacks into their territories. Then, as winter hit, the Soviets counterattacked, encircling whole armies in the face of determined resistance. In the summer of 1943, the Germans struck back as massed tank formations clashed, intent on destroying the Red Army at Kursk.
