Carro Armato M13/40 - Medium Tank

About the Carro Armato M13/40 - Medium Tank:

The primary tank used by the Italians until 1943, the Carro Armato M13/40 was quite effective against many of the first Allied tanks to appear in World War II. Easy to produce, readily available, and effective against infantry and light armor units, the Italians utilized the M13/40 heavily in North Africa, as well as the Albanian and Greek campaigns. As Allied armor became more advanced, the Carro Armato quickly found itself overmatched, however the Allies deployed captured M13/40’s in North Africa as a short-term solution for the extreme lack of available Allied armor in several key battles, including at El Alamein.
