It was made by BMM (Böhmisch-Mährische-Maschinenfabrik), a Czech compnay which was run by the Germans after the invasion of Böhmen and Mähren (parts of Czechoslovakia) in 1938. The Czech army had a good tank which was extensively used by the German army as the 38(t). The running gear was used for a number of different anti-tank guns and assault tanks.

Robi ◊ 2015-05-28 18:32	Please change name to: 1943 BMM Marder III ("Ausf.M" should be put as extra info) However, I have some doubts about this being a real one, because it was damaged in the movie, and there aren't too many running WW2 tanks around...
DidierF ◊ 2015-08-24 19:17	So, any news about this one? Real Marder III, or prop made out a LT38 or a (turretted) Strv m/40 pr m/41?
