Built on the chassis developed for the L6/40, the Semovente 47/32 was an
easy-to-produce tank hunter built as a stopgap measure to combat enemy
armour. Mounting the excellent Elefantino anti-tank gun in an
open-topped chassis gave the Italian forces some much-needed mobility in
their anti-tank assets.
The tank hunter initially fared well in the
western desert, but lack of an armoured crew compartment became a
glaring drawback in the system’s design. The Semovente 47/32 served from
1942 all the way through to 1945, finding use in the German army after
the Italian capitulation.
