Autoprotetto S37 – 47mm (Italian)

Description

The Autoprotetto S37 was an Italian armoured vehicle used during WWII. Originally based on the chassis of a TL37 light artillery tractor, the S37 was an all wheel drive and all wheel steered APC with excellent mobility and low ground pressure, making it an excellent vehicle for desert action. Armed with an 8mm Breda MG, it was comparable to the halftrack transports of other countries, though with smaller passenger compartment than many. After Italy’s surrender, some vehicles were used by the Germans and even made their way to the Yugoslav partisans.

Different variants were produced including a command vehicle and an anti-tank platform equipped with the Cannone 47/32. There were also variants of the APC with vertical shields to protect the troops inside when firing.
