High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Marder III is the name for a series of World War II German tank destroyers built on the chassis of the Panzer 38(t). German word "Marder" means "marten" in English. They were in production from 1942 to 1944 and served on all fronts until the end of the war. Even in the early stages of Operation Barbarossa, the Wehrmacht already felt the need for a more mobile and more powerful anti-tank solution than the existing towed anti-tank guns such as Pak 36 or tank destroyers like the Panzerjager I. This need became urgent in June 1941, when anti-tank shells failed to penetrate armors of new Soviet tanks like the T-34 and KV-1.
