[QUOTE="emilioteles, post: 1695201, member: 3144"] A Fallschirmjäger Obergefreiter loading a 75mm round into the breach of a PaK 40 anti-tank gun mounted on a Marder II (Sd.Kfz. 131) Panzerjäger, somewhere in Russia, March 1943. The Marder II was based on the Panzer II chassis. It's weaknesses were mainly related to survivability. The combination of a high silhouette and open-top fighting compartment made them vulnerable to indirect artillery fire, shrapnel, and grenades. The armour was also quite thin, making them vulnerable to enemy tanks or infantry. The Marders were not assault vehicles or tank substitutes; the open top meant that operations in urban areas or other close-combat situations were very risky. They were best employed in defensive or overwatch roles. Despite their weaknesses they were much more effective than the towed anti-tank guns they replaced.
