italian army 100 17 modello 14 medium artilleryThe 100 17 Modello 14 was a Skoda designed medium howitzer that made up the bulk of the Italians artillery strength. As a whole, Italian artillery was a piecemeal collection from a previous era, although crewmen were well trained and made the most of the equipment they had. The bravery of the Italian artillerymen on the Eastern Front was legendary, often firing over open sights at the approaching enemy in an attempt to stem the Soviet tide. Contains
