The Schützenpanzer Marder 1 (German pronunciation: [ˈʃʏt͜sn̩ˌpant͜sɐ ˈmaʁdɐ ˈaɪ̯ns]; "Infantry fighting vehicle Marten 1") is a tracked German infantry fighting vehicle designed for use with the West German Panzergrenadiere units, mechanized infantry specialized for IFV combat. It has been operated by the German Army as the main Panzergrenadiere IFV since the 1970s through to the present day. Developed as part of the rebuilding of West Germany's armoured fighting vehicle industry, the Marder has proven to be a successful infantry fighting vehicle design.
Although the Marder formerly included several unique features, such as a fully remote machine gun on the rear deck and gun ports on the sides for infantry to fire through, these features were deleted or streamlined in later upgrade packages to bring it more in line with modern IFV design and make manufacturing easier. The rear deck MG was removed, and the gun ports were welded shut and covered with armor. It is overall a simple and conventional machine with one large rear exit hatch and three top hatches for mounted infantry to fire from.
Around 2,100 were taken into service by the West German army in the early 1970s, but the vehicle...
