The last Marder III variant was based on the Geschützwagen 38(t)
Ausf. M, a purpose-designed vehicle for self-propelled gun use, again
armed with the 75 mm PaK 40 anti-tank gun. Ausf. M was the final
variant of the Marder series and was a significant improvement over previous
models, with its lower silhouette, sloped armor and much more functional
fighting compartment. In this variant, the engine was moved from the rear to
the middle between driver and the rest of the crew. Because there was no engine
in the rear, the gun and the crew did not have to sit on top of the engine deck
as in previous models. The fighting compartment could be lowered down to the
bottom floor level where the engine used to be, which decreased crew exposure,
as well as visibility. Unlike the previous two Marder IIIs, the fighting compartment was
closed at the rear, protecting the crew up to their midsection. It stayed
open-topped. It could carry only 27 rounds of ammunition. The machinegun port
at the front was eliminated in the Ausf.
M in favor of an MG 34 or MG
42 carried by the crew.
