    The Marder II was a German tank destroyer developed during WWII after it became evident during Operation Barbarossa that the German army needed a mobile and powerful enough anti-tank weapon.
    it was decided to use surplus light tanks, like the Panzer II, and captured vehicles, like the Lorraine Schlepper, as the basis for makeshift tank destroyers. The result was the Marder series, which were armed3 with either the new 7.5 cm Pak 40 anti-tank guns or captured Soviet 7.62 cm F-22 Model 1936 field guns.
    The Marder II came in two major versions, one based on the light Panzer II Ausf. D/E, with a new torsion bar suspension featuring four large road wheels, and would be armed with a captured Soviet 7.62 cm gun.
    The second version was based on the Panzer II Ausf. F hulls. This Marder II had a redesigned fighting compartment, silhouette was lowered by about 40 cm to 2.20 m and used the German 75 mm Pak 40 anti-tank gun.
    The various Marder II's produced fought on all European fronts of the war, however, there was a large concentration of these on the Eastern Front.
    Because of the combination of a high silhouette, thin armour and open-top fighting compartment made the Marder II vulnerable to indirect artillery fire, aircraft strafing, and grenades.
    Despite their weaknesses, they were more effective than the towed antitank guns that they replaced
    The Marder II would be produced from 1942 until 1943 and 863 were built.
    The Marder III would be based onto the obsolete Panzer 38(t), the chassis was still an excellent and plentiful platform for adaptation into a tank destroyer, and production of the Marder III would start in 1942. It would have either the Soviet 76.2 mm field gun or the 7.5 cm PaK 40.
    Three versions would be build the Sd.Kfz. 139, and the Sd.Kfz. 138 Ausf.H. and M.
    The Ausf. H would fielded the standard 7.5 cm PaK 40 German anti-tank gun on a slightly modified Panzer 38(t) Ausf. H chassis, with the engine in the back.
    The Ausf.M. was based upon the Geschützwagen 38(t) Ausf. M, again armed with the 75 mm PaK 40 anti-tank gun.

    Very interesting footage of the Marder variants armed with either the modified (re-chambered) ex-Soviet 76.2 mm F-22 Model 1936 divisional field gun, or the German 7.5 cm PaK 40 and offered much improved service compared to the towed versions despite having a flimsy armour and a high silhouette and open top but it did good service. Good job again as always...

      Not really, they seem to have no problem with Marder videos, pretty much placing adds on all of them, but it seems the bots are attacking random words on other videos. But when UA-cam makes there own historical content for commercial times like Memorial day or Veterans day then everything is ok.

      I thought until a creator had 1000 subs there were no adverts but in the lad servers months or more that's changed too.
