Semovente M40 Background and Design

The Semovente M40 was an Italian self-propelled gun inspired by the German Sturmgeschutz III. Built on the Carro Armato M13/40 chassis, it mounted a 75mm howitzer and had up to 50mm of armor to shield its crew. The vehicle saw service in North Africa from late 1941, performing in both offensive and defensive operations.
