Semovente M40 Origins and Combat Record

The Semovente M40 was an Italian self-propelled gun drawing on the Sturmgeschutz III layout. Using the Carro Armato M13/40 chassis, it carried a 75mm howitzer and had armor up to 50mm to protect its crew. It was introduced into North African operations from late 1941 and fulfilled both support and direct engagement roles.
