In 1941 and 1942, a total of four double locomotives of the type D 311 were put into service by the German Wehrmacht. They were built to transport heavy railway guns. Two locomotives, the V 188 001 a/b and the V 188 002 a/b, continued to be used by the German Federal Railway after the war. A third locomotive served as a spare parts donor. They proved their worth in heavy freight train and pusher service, mainly on the Spessart ramp. After a generator failure, the V 188 001 had to be taken out of service in 1968. V 188 002, later 288 002, was still in operation in the Franconian region until 1972. Both machines were scrapped in 1973.
