A rather tired looking Marder III Ausf.M was photographed by a New Zealand soldier at the end of 1944 in Faenza, Italy and either belonged to the 1.Komapnie/Panzerjäger-Abteilung 305, 2.Kompanie/Panzerjäger-Abteiling 715.
It is a late production example with the welded driver’s armored hood, modified towing hooks and welded air intake. This vehicle was probably booby-trapped as it has MINES chalked onto the side along with a barely discernible Balkenkreuz.
