Historical Background:

The Marder was a German midget submarine used during World War II. Developed from earlier midget submarine models like the Neger, the Marder was designed to carry a single operator and a torpedo charge for sabotage missions against Allied ships. These submarines were often employed in risky operations due to their small size and vulnerability, but they represented significant innovation in underwater warfare.

Marders were primarily used in coastal waters to attack enemy ships and lay mines. Despite their limitations and the high risks to their operators, these midget submarines played a crucial role in Germany's naval strategies during the war.
