Smallest tank of WW2?

[NebrHogger]

Ansaldo MIAS. While it had certain features in common with a tank, it was actually a mobile shield lacking even a seat for the lone occupant. The prototypes were tested with a pair of 6,5 caliber MGs or a Brixia model 35 mortar launching a rather anemic 45mm bomb. It never reached full production.
