Notes | The 75/46 Modello 34 was a good weapon but was hampered by slow production. It was only produced in small numbers and these gave a good account for themselves in Greece, Russia, North Africa and Sicily. It saw action as both an anti-aircraft gun and an improvised artillery piece and was even used in the anti-tank role. |
