Comparing: Sturer Emil vs. AT 7

Experimental tank destroyer developed on the basis of the VK 30.01(H) heavy tank. Only two vehicles were manufactured. They fought on the Eastern Front. The tank destroyer was designated as “Sturer Emil” (German for “Stubborn Emil”) due to frequent breakdowns.

Conceived as an assault breakthrough tank, this design was completed by June 10th, 1943. No complete prototypes were built. However, some parts and components of the AT7 were used in the A39 Tortoise.
