Due to weight, space, and time constraints, the Marder series had relatively thin armor when compared with other armored vehicles of the era. The result was the Marder series, which were armed with either captured Soviet 76.2mm F-22 Model 1936 divisional field guns, or German 7.5 cm PaK 40 anti-tank guns mounted in later versions. This need became urgent in 1942, when anti-tank shells fired from said anti-tank guns failed to penetrate the armor of new Soviet tanks, such as the T-34 and KV-1.Īs an interim solution, it was decided to use captured French vehicles, such as the Lorraine ( Marder I), obsolete tanks in surplus, such as the German Panzer II ( Marder II), and Czech-supplied Panzer 38(t) ( Marder III) as the base for the production of makeshift tank destroyers.

In the early stages of Operation Barbarossa, the Wehrmacht felt the need for a more mobile and more powerful anti-tank solution than the existing towed anti-tank guns, such as the 3.7 cm Pak 36, or self-propelled tank destroyers, such as the Panzerjäger I (mounted with the 4.7 cm PaK (t)). The German word Marder means ' marten' in English. They were in production from 1942 to 1944, and served on all fronts until the end of the war, along with the similar Marder II. They offered little protection to the crew, but added significant firepower compared to contemporary German tanks. They mounted either the modified ex-Soviet 76.2 mm F-22 Model 1936 divisional field gun, or the German 7.5 cm PaK 40, in an open-topped fighting compartment on top of the chassis of the Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t).

This tank destroyer was put into production as the Panzerjäger 38(t) für 7.62 cm PaK 36(r), Sd.Kfz. Apart from the main gun, there was a 7.92 mm machine gun mounted in the hull. Thirty rounds of ammunition were stored inside the vehicle. In German service, the Soviet gun was re-designated 7.62 cm PaK 36(r), and re-chambered for the more powerful German PaK 40 cartridge. It had a higher silhouette than the original Panzer 38(t), which made it more vulnerable to enemy fire. Armor protection overall ranged from 10 to 50 mm, with no armor at all above and behind the gun compartment, which the crew occupied. This upper structure mounted the gun and an extended gun shield, giving only limited protection for the commander, gunner, and the loader. G was halted, and a modified superstructure was bolted onto the standard tank chassis in lieu of a gun turret. To do so, the mass production of the Panzer 38(t) Ausf. Since the Soviet 76.2 mm field gun was captured in large quantities, the decision was made to mate this gun to the Panzer 38(t). While the Panzer 38(t) had largely become obsolete as a tank in early 1942, it was still an excellent and plentiful platform for adaptation into a tank destroyer, among other roles. There were three variants of the German MARDER III with the Sd.Kfz. The German word Marder means “marten” in English. Marder III was the name for a series of World War II German tank destroyers.
