This paper is a sequel to [2]. A polycyclic-by-finite group G was there called dihedral free if G contains no subgroup isomorphic to 〈b, a:ba = b-1 a2 = 1〉 whose normalizer has finite index in G. It was shown in [2, Theorem F] that, if R is a commutative Noetherian domain, the group ring RG is a prime Noetherian maximal order if and only if R is integrally closed, G is dihedral free, and G has no non-trivial finite normal subgroups. Throughout, R and G will be assumed to satisfy these hypotheses. The main aim of the paper is to study the class group of the maximal order RG.
