These vehicles took part in combat on the Eastern Front, where they stood out due to their devastating firepower. Constructed by the company Henschel, they were tested in areas including Kharkov in 1942-1943. Although the project never entered mass production, the "Sturer Emil" is today considered an icon of German engineering from the period of intense development of armored weaponry during World War II.
