The Carro Armato M14/41 was a four crew medium tank that served in the Royal Italian Army from 1941. It was an evolution of the earlier M13/40, a slightly improved version with a more powerful diesel engine, and it was manufactured in 1941 and 1942. The tank was employed in the North African campaign, fighting at El Alamein and in Tunisia. The first unit to receive it was the X Tank Battalion M of the 133rd Tank Infantry Regiment, and tank battalions of the 31st Tank Infantry Regiment and of the 1st Infantry Division Superga also took it. Its chassis became the basis for the far more successful Semovente da 90/53 tank destroyer, and a prototype fast Saharan tank was developed on it in 1943.
