Italian gun trucks 1915-1945 – SPECIAL ALBUM

Italian WWII gun trucks were the result of technical and logistical necessity, in a context of industrial backwardness and a shortage of modern armoured vehicles. While they proved to be highly effective tactically – especially the 90/53 – they suffered from little or no protection for the crew, limited firing stability, and scarcity in numbers, which prevented them from having a decisive impact on the front lines. Despite these limitations, they represented an intelligent and pragmatic adaptation of the available resources. All this is covered in a richly illustrated book, which analyses all the vehicles that were converted for use. As always, it is accompanied by numerous rare images, colour photographs and dozens of detailed profiles!
