Description
The L6/40 Tank: A Lightly Armoured Warhorse The Italian light tank, L6/40, played a significant role in World War II, serving with the Regio Esercito in various theatres of war. Initially designed for mountain operations, it proved ill-suited for its intended tasks and was soon relegated to reconnaissance duties from 1941 until the armistice in September 1943. Despite its limitations, the L6/40 saw action in North Africa, Russia, the Balkans, and Europe. However, its weaknesses in armament and armour made it an obsolete vehicle from the outset. This book provides a detailed look at the L6/40's history, design, and operational use during World War II. With 58 pages of illustrations and information, this publication offers a comprehensive insight into Italy's light tank, making it a valuable resource for historians and enthusiasts alike.
