Partisan use of the British Universal Carrier?

Post by boltgunner » 11 Sep 2023 11:55

Wikipedia lists "Yugoslav Partisans" as among the historical operators of the British Universal Carrier. I take wikipedia with a grain of salt, so I'd like to know if anyone here can confirm this and possibly provide more details of how the Yugoslavs used them, as well as whether the Universal Carrier was used by any other partisan or resistance groups in Europe?

1st Tank Brigade NOVJ was armed by Brits in Italy with M3A2 (and some A1) Stuarts, AEC Mk III armored cars, and a few bren carriers and jeeps.

Thanks Tiso. Do you know anything about how the Universal Carriers were deployed by this unit? Were they primarily recon, or transport, or...?
