The Italian army unlike those of the British & French did not use tanks in combat during World War I & by November 1918 only one training unit equipped with French Schneider & Renault tanks had been formed. Consequently during the 1920s the Italian army had just one single tank type in its armoured inventory
- the Fiat 3000. Only in 1927 was the first tank unit formed as a branch of the infantry & not as an independent organization while the cavalry rejected the idea of both tanks & armoured cars & decided to stand by the use of horses for its mounted units. Between 1933 & March 1939 a further 2 724 CV 33 / L 3 tanks were built 1 216 of which were exported all over the world. By the time Italy entered the war in June 1940 the army had 1 284 light tanks 855 of which were in combat units including three armoured divisions. Variants of the CV 33 / L 3 tanks included flame-throwers bridge-layers recovery vehicles & a radio command tank. Some L 3 tanks were still in use in 1945 by both the Germans & the German-allied Italian units of the Repubblica Sociale.
