Album image #10
Italian M40 Semovente 75/18 SP Howitzer, Ariete Armored Division, Bir Hakim (Gazala Line), Libya, May 1942. Impressed by the German StuG III 75mm Howitzer Assault Gun, the Italian Army developed their own Assault gun based on the M40/13 Medium tank. Development took most of 1941 and production of 60 vehicles began late that year. All were shipped to North Africa where their debut was at Gazala in May 1942. These assault guns proved to be the most effective Italian AFV's and they fought well through El Alamain until they were destroyed in the defeat of the Afrika Korp in November 1942. Further production was based on M41/14 and M42/15 medium tanks.
