Comparing: Valentine AT vs. Marder II vs. FCM 36 Pak 40

This experimental tank destroyer had the gun mounted in the middle of the hull behind a gun shield. A prototype was built, but work on the vehicle was discontinued when a new tank destroyer was developed, based on the Valentine and mounting the powerful 17-pounder.

Light tank destroyer developed in early 1942 based on the chassis of the outdated, but massively produced, Pz.Kpfw. II, and fitted with a powerful gun. The vehicle saw wide use on the Eastern Front; from 1944, it also fought in Italy and on the Western Front. The tank destroyer was in service until the end of the war.

In 1943, ten FCM36 tanks were converted into tank destroyers. Earlier, 12 vehicles of this type were converted into self-propelled guns carrying a 105-mm gun.
