The vehicle was developed by a German and Argentine team of engineers, and was based on the chassis of the German Marder infantry fighting vehicle.

The Marder I was developed in May 1942 and carried the 75 mm PaK 40 anti-tank gun on a Lorraine chassis.

An example of the development of tank destroyer technology throughout the war are the Marder III and Hetzer vehicle, that were very different in spite of being based on the same chassis: Marder was straightforwardly an anti-tank gun on tracks whereas Hetzer traded some firepower ( its Pak 39, designed to operate within the confines of a fully-armored fighting compartment, fires the same projectiles from a reduced propellant charge compared to Marder's Pak 40 ) for better armor protection and ease of battlefield concealment.

It was better armored than the lightly armoured earlier Panzerjäger Marder and Nashorn with a sloped armour front plate of sloped back at 60 degrees from the vertical ( equivalent in protection to about ), carried a reasonably powerful gun, was mechanically reliable, small and easily concealed.

The result was the Marder series, which were armed with either the new 7. 5 cm Pak 40 anti-tank guns or captured Soviet 7. 62 cm F-22 Model 1936 field guns, large numbers of which had been acquired early in the war.

These early Marder IIs had a very high silhouette ( 2. 60 m high ), thin armor of only 30 mm ( front ) and 10 to 15 mm ( sides ).

This Marder II had a redesigned ( widened ) fighting compartment and used the German 75 mm Pak 40 anti-tank gun.

Bob Richman had secretly plotted with another Norton executive, John Marder, to oust CEO Harold Edgarton from his position and seize control of the company.

In early version of the Marder this infantry man had a hatch which opened to the right and a periscope that could be rotated through 360 degrees, this hatch was removed in the 1A3 variant onwards.

Only Marder 1A1 and 1A2 had been equipped with this.

The Marder series were tall and had open crew compartments.

Most Marder I's were built on the base of the Tracteur Blindé 37L ( Lorraine ), a French artillery tractor / armoured personnel carrier of which the Germans had acquired more than three hundred after the Fall of France in 1940.

The result was the Marder series, which were armed with either the 75 mm PaK 40 anti-tank guns or the captured Soviet 76. 2mm F-22 Model 1936 divisional field gun, of which large numbers had been captured.

They created many examples of lightly armored self-propelled anti-tank guns using captured French equipment ( example Marder I ), their own obsolete light tank chassis ( Marder II ), or ex-Czech chassis ( Marder III ).

Examples include the U. S. M901 ITV ( Improved TOW Vehicle ) and the Norwegian NM142, both on an M113 chassis, several Soviet ATGM launchers based on the BRDM reconnaissance car, the British FV438 Swingfire and FV102 Striker and the German Raketenjagdpanzer series built on the chassis of the HS 30 and Marder IFV.

Captured Soviet anti-tank guns were mounted on modified Panzer II chassis, producing the Marder II self-propelled anti-tank gun.

The most common mounting was a German anti-tank gun on the Czech Panzer 38 ( t ) chassis to produce the Marder III.

Some vehicles mount more machine guns ; for example on the German Marder, one machine gun fires from the rear of the vehicle, and the Russian BMP-3 has two machine guns mounted in the hull facing forward.
