The Marder concept was first developed to reuse captured tanks in France, in combination with a stockpile of captured russian ZiS AT guns. Marder Is are various french lights mounting these guns. They mostly served in reserve units in France until D-day as far as I know. Marder II is the same concept, reusing obsolete Panzer II tanks after they ran out of french tanks. Marder IIIs were a combination of rebuilt Pz 38(t), and a separate fully built design with a rear mounted compartment based on the Skoda vz 38 (pz 38(t)) chassis. I think the Marder II served mostly on the eastern front. Maybe some served in africa.
I love these walk arounds …. Keep them coming

Oh, and after they run out of the captured russian guns, they used pak40s.
I believe that it was effective but not as quick as a T34/85
