In 1941 and 1942, a total of four type D 311 double locomotives were put into service by the German Wehrmacht. They were built to carry heavy railway guns. Two locomotives, road numbers V 188 001 a/b and V 188 002 a/b, continued to be used by the Deutsche Bundesbahn after the war. A third locomotive served as a spare parts donor. They proved themselves in heavy freight train and pusher service, mainly on the Spessart ramp. Road number V 188 001 had to be shut down in 1968 after generator damage. V 188 002, later 288 002, was in operation in the Franconian area until 1972. In 1973 both machines were scrapped.
