Historical Information

The Marder III, designated as Sd.Kfz.139, was a German tank destroyer based on the chassis of the Czech Panzer 38(t) tank. Produced between 1942 and 1944, it was mainly used by the Wehrmacht on the Eastern and Western fronts as well as in North Africa. The machine was renowned for its effectiveness, especially against Soviet T-34 tanks during the battles on the Eastern Front. The Marder III was one of the more successful improvised anti-tank vehicle conversions, taking part in key battles such as the Battle of Kursk and the fighting in Africa at El Alamein.
