Did any German unit in the Battle of the Bulge use the old Marder panzerjaeger vehicles (any chassis)? I see mention in my reference books of Hetzers, StuGs, Jagdpanzer IVs and Jagdpanthers, but I have yet to see a mention of Marders. Seems to me that with this being the last throw of the dice, virtually anything that could move and shoot (and take out a Sherman) would be more than welcome, at least in a volksgrenadier division, if not in any of the German mobile divisions. That they were open-topped and exposed their crews to the elements (and enemy fire) might be seen as immaterial beside their usefulness in the anti-tank role.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Yours,
Paul
