The Germans captured and used Italian light tanks M 15/42. Even for the turrets from these tanks the Germans developed a project of a concrete bunker, which was to have a M 15/42 turret on the ceiling. Instead of the Italian gun, a German 3.7 cm L/45 gun was to be lafeted. Everything probably remained only in plans. The turret status report of 26.3.1945 does not show this modification.
