Historical Background

The Italian Semovente 75/18 is one of the most important self-propelled guns used by the Regio Esercito (Royal Italian Army) during World War II. This vehicle was widely used on the African front, in Italy, and in the Balkans between 1942–1945. It was armed with a 75 mm gun mounted on the chassis of the M13/40 tank, often equipped with a characteristic gun barrel featuring a canvas cover for protection against dust and adverse weather conditions.
