Sturer Emil

[DRG]

This is an EXCELLENT EXAMPLE of why we harp about keeping threads on the original topic and not wander all over the place. If there was a way for us to move individual posts we would ( We found the way....... )but once it starts it takes on a life of it's own.

It has been noted that the Emil was based on the vK 30001 (h) frame whereas the Dicker Max was built on the Pz IV frame ( 8 road wheels ). Take a look at these photos.....

6 road wheels----- so whatever this is, it's built on the Pz III chassis but it's reported as being a Panzer-Selbstfahrlafette IV but with 6 road wheels it could not be.

There are quite a few photos of the Max on line. Lot's considering how few were made but , as noted, they did see combat but that photo link shows something else altogether unless there were versions built on the pz III chassis as well.

Anyway...... I'll sort it out but it shows how easily things can be mis-identified
