133rd Tank Regiment (Italy)

The 133rd Tank Regiment was an armored unit of the Italian Army during World War II. It formed part of the 133rd Armored Division Littorio. The regiment participated in the North African Campaign, specifically the Second Battle of El Alamein. Details on its specific organization, equipment, and battle record are somewhat limited in easily accessible English-language sources, but it is known to have been equipped with M13/40 tanks. The Littorio division, including the 133rd Tank Regiment, suffered heavy losses during the retreat from El Alamein and was eventually destroyed in Tunisia in 1943. Further research is needed to fully document the regiment's history.
