Historical Info
A dire need arose for a more mobile more powerful anti-tank weapon that could match the new Soviet vehicles. One solution was to use light tanks such as the Panzer II as a basis for makeshift Tank Destroyers. The Marder series was the result and were armed with the new 7.5cm PaK 36(r) or captured Russian 7.62cm F-22 model 1936 field guns, large numbers of which had been acquired early in the war.
Used on all fronts from 1942 through the end of WWII, 576 vehicles were built between June 1942, and June 1943, and a further 75 vehicles rebuilt from PzKpfw II in 1944.
