Product Description
[Guardian of anti-tank forces that appeared in opposition to T34]
- In the early days of the German-Soviet War, the Marder II anti-tank self-propelled gun was active against the Soviet main battle tanks T34 and KV-2.
- In the summer of 1941, the German army invaded the Soviet Union with great force and was faced with an unexpectedly formidable enemy: the T34 and KV-1.
- It became clear that not only German main battle tanks such as III and IV at the time, but even the best anti-tank weapon, the 50mm anti-tank gun, were powerless.
- Under these circumstances, the 75mm anti-tank gun was introduced with great expectations.
- Its performance was excellent, being able to penetrate 130mm armor plate at a distance of 1000m using armor-piercing bullets, and firing 14 rounds per minute.
- The Marder II anti-tank self-propelled gun was created with this high performance in mind.
- Equipped with a 75mm gun in an open-top battle compartment built on the body of a Panzer II tank.
- Production began in mid-1942, and it fulfilled its role as a pinch hitter.
