Call me crazy, but I personally think there should really be a Vespa unit. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Vespa did make a military vehicle. I know that this was made after the end of WW2, but humor me please! XD

VESPA 150 T.A.P.
1956
The French Ministry of Defense, in the fifties, commissioned by the licensee in Piaggio France (ACMA) requested the development of a vehicle for military use. The result was a very special Vespa of which there were only about 600 produced from 1956 to 1959. Used by the Foreign Legion and the Parachute Corps, the Vespa TAP was equipped with a 75mm gun, capacity for additional ammunition, two cans of fuel and a small cart. It was produced in two camouflage colors: green and sand. Despite the weight of 115 kg the Vespa TAP could reach a speed of 66 km / h, with a range of 200 km (124 mi).
