It was part of the armament of the German army. Work on this powerful weapon began at the Rheinmetall concern in 1936, and the first sample of this weapon entered service with the Wehrmacht in 1940. During the entire war, one prototype was created and six copies went into service with the army with their own names: Baldur, Wotan, Thor, Odin, Loki and Ziu. During World War II, Karl mortars were used sparingly. They participated in the siege of Sevastopol in 1942 and in the suppression of the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. This type of mortar was an extremely bulky weapon. Characterized by very low mobility, the transport of ammunition was also a problem, for which a specially modified variant of the PzKpfw IV was used. Loading continued, and before firing, the Karl type mortar had to land on the ground to unload the suspension. The entire structure weighed about 124 tons, the flight range with a 60 cm caliber rocket was only 6,800 m, and with a 54 cm caliber rocket it reached 10,400 m. The weight of the rocket was 2.17 tons for the 600 mm caliber and 1.25 tons for the 540 mm caliber. Given these data, it is easy to conclude that a raid of 5-6 Ju-87s would have the same effect as fire from a Karl type mortar. The mass of the rocket was 2.17 tons for the caliber 600 mm and 1.25 tons for the caliber 540 mm.
