| Notes | The Marder II was based on the chassis of the Panzer II Ausf D and E light tank, which was only produced in small numbers. The chassis was kept in production to allow for the conversion plus some were developed from existing vehicles that had come in for repairs. The main armament was the Russian 76.2mm F-22 field gun, which was captured in large numbers during the early phase of Barbarossa. The gun was mounted in a raised fighting compartment, which also allowed for a gun shield to be fitted, this gave the vehicle a large silhouette, but the army needed a stop gap weapon to fill the void whilst new vehicles were being developed. The Marder II Ausf D and E was issued to tank destroyer companies of Panzer and Panzer Grenadier formations and mainly served in Russia. |
