Italian Cannone da 47/32 Anti-Tank Gun WW2

Italy’s Cannone da 47/32 originated from the Austrian Böhler 47 mm gun and became a widely used Italian infantry-support and anti-tank weapon. Its relatively light construction aided handling and movement. It served in North Africa and other theaters, but its ability to defeat armor declined as opposing tanks received heavier protection during the war. Italian troops nicknamed the little gun Elefantino. Its original dual infantry-support and anti-tank purpose made high-explosive as well as armor-piercing ammunition relevant. Mobility and concealment could make it useful in favorable conditions, but no tactical advantage could remove the basic limitation of a relatively small gun facing increasingly thick tank armor.
