Company B: Fiat SPA Dovunque 35


Company B: The Dovunque (Go Anywhere) 35 3-ton truck began production in 1936 by the Fiat subsidiary SPA. The design was requested by the Italian military based upon experience in Ethiopia. It was first deployed during the Spanish Civil War. With the outbreak of WWII, it was used extensively in North Africa. Many trucks later made their way to both the Balkans and the Russian Front. When Italy left the war, production continued under German auspices. The Dovunque 35 was used for general transport, towing light artillery, as a platform for AA guns, and signal vans. There even was an APC developed on its chassis.
