At the end of the
1930’s the Italian Regio Esercito (Royal Italian Army) began to deploy
self-propelled artillery guns to provide support for tanks and infantry
units. The ‘Semovente’ 75/18 was developed on the back of the ‘M’ series
medium tank hull and soon became the most feared Italian armored
vehicle. In addition to its primary artillery role, the 75mm howitzer
installed in the casemate proved to be a highly effective anti-tank
weapon, capable of destroying even the most powerful and heavily armored
British and American tanks. During the war however, the Italian Regio
Esercito requested the development of a version with increased offensive
capability. The 75/34 cannon which was originally designed for an
anti-tank role, was fitted to the hull of the M42 self-propelled tank.
The initial units of which, were distributed to the Italian Army in the
spring of 1943. As a result of its effective operational performance, it
was also used by German anti-tank battalions after the armistice in
September 1943.
