Bofors 40mm in Greek service?
Did the Greeks have this weapon in 1940? Who has a picture?
Kind regards,

tks both.
The Swedish govt impounded Greek Bofors 40mm on the production line, according to Fransson. So possibly none arrived before the outbreak of WW2....
Do you know how many Bofors 75mm were available? Also some Swedish sources state these were 76,2mm...?

If you mean http://greekmilitary.net/WW2/2003976433318363763_rs.jpg , it's a Hotchkiss 13mm weapon.

The guns don't look like Oerlikon to me! But on the other hand, gun mounting doesn't look like German 20mm Flak too...Sitzkrieg wrote:Numbers, I do not remember. Oerlikon... Hmm, there is a photo found in a Greek magazine of an Oerlikon (although the caption says Rheinmetall, it could be an Oerlikon....) on a Hansa-Lloyd truck
