includes one Semovente 75/34 Self-propelled gun.

The first Italian self-propelled gun, the Semovente M41 da 75/18 based on the M14/41 medium tank, was introduced in late 1941. This provided the field artillery with both mobility and protection.

Mounting the short-barrelled 75mm L/18 howitzer, it was used with great success in the Desert where it supported the medium tanks with accurate long-range supporting fire.

The Semovente 75/34 was an improved design armed with a new 75/34 gun in a lengthened fighting compartment. Being based on the M15/42 hull, it had a more powerful engine, but was slightly longer. The design was completed by late 1942 and Fiat Ansaldo began full-scale production in 1943. They had produced 190 by September 1943 when Italy surrendered.

After the fall of Italy, the Germans seized the Semovente 75/34 as the StuG M42. They had issued a total of 294 to German units by the end of 1944. In that year they served with six infantry divisions, two Panzer divisions, three Panzergrenadier divisions, one Fallschirm¬jager division, and one Gebirgsdivision in Italy and the Balkans.
