About the Marder III M
During WWII, the German Army produced and operated the Marder III

series, which was equipped with the Czech built obsolete 38(t)
tank chassis, to combat the Soviet T-34 tanks. First version of
Marder was armed with improved spoiled Soviet 7.62cm Pak36
anti-tank cannon which was replaced with German 7.5cm Pak40 gun
on H version, and the last version, the Marder III M was put into

production in May 1943. Unlike former types the M's cabin was
transferred to the rear by mounting the engine in the middle, and

a 7.5cm Pak40/3 was also employed. 942 M's were produced until
the thoroughbred tank destroyer Hetzer assumed much of the
Marder's role.
