Semovente 47/32

The Semovente 47/32 was an Italian self-propelled gun built during World War II. It was created by mounting a Cannone da 47/32 M35 in an open-topped, box-like superstructure on a Fiat L6/40 chassis. Some were built as command tanks with a radio installed instead of the main gun. A 8 mm machine gun disguised as the 47 mm main gun was used on these versions to make them look like regular Semovente 47/32s. About 300 Semovente 47/32 were built from 1941 and onward. The Semovente 47/32 was the most heavily-armed Italian AFV used on the Eastern Front.

After the Italian armistice in September 1943, the German Army took all Semovente 47/32s they could get hold of for their own use. Some of these were provided to Germany's Croatian puppet state.
