		<description><![CDATA[The Autoblinda 40 and Autoblinda 41 armored cars had their origins in a requirement for a high  performance car for use by the Italian colonial police in the new Italian colonies in Africa.  The Italian cavalry branch also had a requirement for a new armored car at about the same time  so the two were merged to produce a new vehicle design that appeared in 1939. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Originally designated the Fiat-Ansaldo 8 T, the M 11/39 was developed for infantry support in 1937 and mounted a 37 mm gun in a sponson and powered by a 125 HP Fiat SPA 8T V-8 engine with a maximum speed of 20 mph. The M11 armor was relatively thin and only designed to protect against 20mm fire.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The main combat version, the L.6/40 soon proved to be of little value against the British armor then in use in North Africa and was obviously ripe for the usual limited traverse anti-tank gun treatment. It was not long in coming when Fiat-SPA and Ansaldo combined to use the chassis for the basis of a tank destroyer.]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://comandosupremo.com/?p=521</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Initially, the Semovente da 75/18 was internally identical to the M13/40, the major difference being the 75 mm Ansaldo L/18 field gun fixed in the superstructure, and the obvious upper hull changes. By 1942, Italy was producing armored vehicles that were better suited for desert conditions than their previous models]]></description>
