Pz Sfl IVa 'Dicker Max'

The Pz Sfl IVa was ordered from Krupp in 1941 and was designed to destroy heavily fortified bunkers. Two prototypes were built and it was decided to develop then as heavy Panzerjaeger (tank destroyers) to allow engagement of anticipated super heavy tanks. The Pz Sfl IVa had an open supersucture but was still moderately armoured. The two Pz Sfl IVa were issued to 521st Panzerjaeger detatchement for the proposed attack on Gibraltar but later moved to Russia with the 3rd Panzer Division.
