About the Marder III M
During WWII, the German Army produced and operated the Marder III series
on the Czech-built obsolete 38(t) tank chassis, to combat the Soviet
T-34 tanks. The first version of the Marder was armed with an improved
Soviet 7.62cm Pak36 anti-tank cannon, which was replaced with a German
7.5cm Pak40 gun on the H version; the last version, the Marder III M was
put into production in May 1943. The M featured a new layout with rear
cabin and midship engine, and a 7.5cm Pak40/3 was also employed. 942 Ms
were produced until the thoroughbred tank destroyer Hetzer assumed much of the Marder's role.
