ARMOURED CARS OF THE ITALIAN SOCIAL REPUBLIC 1943-1945

The armoured cars were a perfect example of the adaptability of the Royal Army’s forces in World War II, both the domestically developed models and the improvised versions. They were obviously recovered and redeployed by the forces of the Italian Social Republic after the Armistice of 8 September 1943 with completely new tasks.  From the patrols of the vast North African desert areas, the small trucks were employed and transformed for anti-partisan combat, which they performed with not a few limitations.

In this book we will analyse the service of the armoured cars with the various units of the Republican National Guard, the Republican National Army and the Wehrmacht troops from September 1945 until April 1945.
