The Marder III Sd.Kfz. 138 tank destroyer was developed for the Wehrmacht based on the now obsolete Czechoslovak-produced Panzerkampfwagen 38(t). It went into production in 1942 for the needs of the eastern theatre of operations and was used on all fronts until the end of the war. A significant improvement was, among other things, the installation of an effective 75-mm anti-tank gun, which was protected by a slanted steel shield. in order to better protect the soldiers, the engine was placed in the rear part of the vehicle and the weapon system in the middle. With the Marder III, the Wehrmacht had an easily produced tank destroyer with high firepower, capable of engaging the most important tanks of the time.
