Breda 35 20mm AA gun (Italian)

Description

The Breda 35 20mm was a light anti-aircraft gun used by Italy during WWII. It was designed in the early 30s and adopted into service in 1935. A lightweight weapon, it could be towed by a vehicle or a single horse. 

Conceived as a dual purpose weapon, the Breda 35 was effective against both aircraft and ground targets. Though it did not have the fearsome reputation of the Flakvierling, it was deadly when used against infantry, and it could also damage light tanks. 

As well as a stand alone AA gun, the Breda 35 was also used as the principle armament in a number of vehicles such as the Sahariana scout car, AB41 armoured car and L6/40 tank. Captured guns were also used on the trucks of the LRDG and at least one Marmon Herrington armoured car.
