7.5 cm
PaK 40 auf Fahrgestell
Panzer II (Marder II)
| Specifications |
| While the 7.62 cm PaK 36(r) was a good stopgap measure,
the 7.5 cm PaK 40 mounted on the tank chassis of the Ausf. F resulted in a better
overall fighting machine. New production amounted to 576 examples from June 1942
to June 1943 as well as the conversion of 75 tanks after new production had stopped.
The work was done by Daimler-Benz, FAMO, and MAN. A much improved superstructure
for the 7.62 cm mounting was built giving a lower profile. The Marder II became
a key piece of equipment and served with the Germans on all fronts through the
end of the war. |
