Have been researching a dio set to use the Marder III M and Ferdinand together. Does anyone know of an accurate battle/operation on the eastern or western front where they were both present. I am really looking for accuracy. Thanks for the help.

Do you mean ferdinand or Elefant? AFAIK the Ferdinand was only used at Kursk and for a few months after on the Soviet/German front. I think that's too early for a marder III ausf M.

Elefants were then deployed to Italy. I have no idea if Marder III Ms were encountered there.

It is the Ferdinand. I think the Elephant had zimmermit, correct?. So the Ferd and Marder IIIM existed at different times then? This will not work then. Maybe if I use the Marder III H at Kursk with the Ferd? Or Marder II?
