This Marder II (Sd.Kfz. 131) was nicknamed "Kohlenklau [de]" (Coal thief), after a propaganda caricature which was very popular in Germany from 1942 onward.
The Marder II ("marten" in English) was a German tank destroyer of World War II based on the Panzer II chassis.[1] There were two versions, the first mounted a modified Soviet 7.62 cm gun firing German ammunition, while the other mounted the German 7.5 cm Pak 40 gun.[2] Its high profile and thin open-topped armor provided minimal protection to the crew. Nevertheless, the Marder II (and similar Marder III) provided a great increase in firepower over contemporary German tanks during 1942 and into 1943.[1] Only four Marder IIs remain today.[1]
