A look at the Marder III Ausführung H or Marder 38T, this was a German tank destroyer (Panzerjäger - literally "Tank Hunter") in World War 2. It was a stop-gap solution, yet it shares a lot of components and other aspects with the popular Jagdpanzer 38 "Hetzer". In this video we look at experience reports, development, the Marder series, firepower, mobility and armor protection. Disclaimer: I was invited by the Panzermuseum Munster in 2020.
