Historical Information

The Sd.Kfz 131 Marder II is a self-propelled anti-tank gun based on the chassis of the Panzer II light tank, armed with the highly effective German 7.5 cm PaK 40/2 anti-tank gun. The Marders II started to be produced after the German invasion of the USSR, when the Soviets deployed T-34 and KV tanks, against which the previously used German guns proved ineffective. Converting the Panzer II into a tank destroyer allowed the Germans to counter the superiority of the Soviet armoured forces—especially on the Eastern Front, where the Marder II played a crucial role between 1942 and 1944. Only the German forces (Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS) used this vehicle.
