155th Infantry Division Emilia The 155th Infantry Division Emilia was an infantry division of the Italian Army during World War II . The " Emilia " Division was formed in December 1941 as a garrison division . Despite this it was sent to Dalmatia in April 1942 , to assist in combat operations against Yugoslav Partisans . After the Italian armistice with the Allies in September 1943 most of the division surrendered to the Germans but some elements resisted until October , while the 155th Artillery Regiment managed to sail to Puglia in Southern Italy were it joined the 104th Motorised Division Mantova .

76 mm gun M1 The 76 mm gun M1 was an American World War II - era tank gun , which replaced the 75 mm gun on late Medium tank M4s , and was used for all 76 mm Gun Motor Carriage M18 tank destroyer s . The previous 75 mm M3 L / 40 gun on the early M4 Sherman variants was designed more as an infantry support weapon . The performance of this gun against armor was considered insufficient and led to the design of a higher velocity weapon . Design and development . It was a new gun with a breech similar to that of the 75 mm M3 Gun . It fired the same shell as the gun of the 3in Gun Motor Carriage M10 tank destroyer , but from a different case . The 76 mm was developed as a lighter gun than the " 3 inch " . The gun received a muzzle brake and faster rifle twist during production . While the 76 mm had less High Explosive ( HE ) and smoke performance than the 75 mm , the higher - velocity 76 mm gave better anti - tank performance , with firepower similar to many of the armored fighting vehicle s it encountered , particularly the Panzer IV and StuG vehicles . The M1 was tested on an M4 Sherman tank , it was then found that the long barrel caused balance problems . The barrel was shortened and a counterweight added to the breech to compensate giving the M1A1 . The reduction in length - by about 15 inches - reduced performance but the 76 mm was still superior to the 75 mm gun . When the counterweight was found to be insufficient , the turret design of the T23 tank was used on the M4 chassis to carry the 76mm gun . Wholesale introduction of the 76 mm gun was opposed due to its inferior HE round - approx 0 . 9 lb of explosive to the 1 . 5 lb in the 75 mm round - and the muzzle blast which could create large dust clouds in dry conditions . The UK was not interested in the 76 mm gun Sherman as they had their own guns under development - although of intermediate length between the M1 and M1A1 76 mm , their Ordnance QF 17 pounder ( 76 . 2 mm ) antitank gun used about more propellant . Armed with this gun the M4 was known as the Sherman Firefly . Usage . With British Commonwealth designations in brackets 76 mm gunned Shermans supplied to the British were only used in Italy or by the Polish 1st Armoured Division in North - West Europe . The British supported their 75 mm gunned Shermans with QF 17 pdr ( 76mm ) equipped " Fireflies " Towed variant . From 1943 , at the instigation of the head of the Armored Force General Jacob Devers , US Ordnance worked on a towed anti - tank gun based on the barrel of the M1 , known as " 76 mm gun T2 on carriage T3 " . Later interest in the project declined and in 1945 the program was officially canceled .
