The Semovente da 75/18 was inspired by the German StuG III, and was designed to use the M13/40's chassis (together with its engine) on which a fixed casemate housed a 75 mm howitzer was mounted. It first entered mass production in 1941, and due to its success it was continuously upgraded (shifting to the M14/41 and then finally to the M15/42 chassis); a total of 410 were built (plus another 50 after 1943 for the German Army). Upgunned and improved versions (such as the Semovente da 75/34 and the Semovente da 105/25) saw only minimal service in 1943 for the Italian Army, and were mostly used by German units.

abstract	The Semovente da 75/18 was inspired by the German StuG III, and was designed to use the M13/40's chassis (together with its engine) on which a fixed casemate housed a 75 mm howitzer was mounted. It first entered mass production in 1941, and due to its success it was continuously upgraded (shifting to the M14/41 and then finally to the M15/42 chassis); a total of 410 were built (plus another 50 after 1943 for the German Army). Upgunned and improved versions (such as the Semovente da 75/34 and the Semovente da 105/25) saw only minimal service in 1943 for the Italian Army, and were mostly used by German units. Originally assigned to the artillery regiment of the armoured divisions, the Semovente, although not designed in origin for the role, proved to be a powerful tank destroyer; its good firepower (using HEAT shells), small silhouette and improved armour protection enabled it to be a match for the Allied medium tanks it faced in North Africa and Italy (such as the M3 Lee or the M4 Sherman), and it was responsible for many of the successes of the Italian armored units during the war. However, the production rates never meet the actual demand, and so its impact on the battlefield remained limited.
