Panzerjager 38(t) fur 7.5cm PAK 40, ausf M (Marder III) from the Front
Here we see the Panzerjager 38(t) fur 7.5cm PAK 40, ausf M, the most numerous version of the Marder III, from the front. The ausf M had the engine moved from the rear of the vehicle to the middle, allowing the fighting compartment to move to the back. It also gained large cooling vents on the side of the chassis, seen here above the rear road wheel.
