Semovente M43 da105-25

The Ansaldo 105/25 M43, also known as Semovente 105/25, was an Italian self-propelled gun used during World War II and designed by Fiat-Ansaldo. It was the most powerful self-propelled gun built by Italy in numbers during World War II.

Following the Italian surrender, the Germans, who regarded the Semovente 105/25 “Bassotto” as a very good vehicle, captured them and built an additional 91 units, renamed StuG M43 mit 105/25 853 (i) and used them against the Anglo-American forces.
