	Italian Army By the time Italy joined WWII, the Italian army was well-conditioned and experienced. The Italian army fought in Ethiopia 1935-1936, Spain 1936-39, and Albania 1939. Still, the Italian army was severely hampered by low morale, poor equipment, and even worse leadership, and it went from defeat to defeat until Mussolini’s overthrow in 1943.
	Italian M11-39 Carro Armato Designed as a breakthrough tank, the M11-39 entered service in 1939 as Italy’s most modern tank. Its career was cut short due to shortcomings such as armor that was too light and a hull-mounted 37mm gun that was too weak. In later models, the main gun was moved from the hull to the turret, which afforded greater range of motion and increased its effectiveness.
	Italian LCVP This landing craft is an Italian version of the more widely known Allied Higgins boat.
