What I have learned so far
Hanno I tended to agree until I read this in the following today.
In reading "Go To it" by Peter Harclerode The History of the 6th Airborne Division in WW2 the breakdown of the 2nd Airlanding Light Anti-Aircraft Battery RA goes like this. Eighteen 40mm Bofors, Forty Eight 20mm Oerlikon guns. In January 1945 it switched to a anti-tank unit using 6pdr Guns.
Off topic of the CMP Bofors I know but I was wondering if they would use a chopped down 15cwt to tow it. I have a drawing of a Jeep towing the gun but ammo storage would seem limited. Any thoughts?
