The Semovente da 75/18 was a self-propelled gun developed by Italy during World War II. It was based on the chassis of various medium tanks, such as the M13/40, M14/41, and M15/42, and mounted a 75 mm howitzer in a fixed casemate. The Semovente da 75/18 was designed to provide mobile artillery support and to counter the new Allied tanks that appeared in North Africa. It was the most produced Italian self-propelled gun of the war, with over 500 units built. The Semovente da 75/18 had a low profile, a relatively thick frontal armor, and a powerful gun that could fire both high-explosive and armor-piercing shells. It was used by the Italian Army and later by the German Army and the Italian Social Republic after the armistice of 1943. The Semovente da 75/18 proved to be an effective weapon, especially in the desert warfare, where it could exploit its mobility and concealment.
