In August 1937 Argentina ordered 60 guns from Bofors. Of these only six were delivered before the German insasion of Denmark and Norway cut off the sea-link from Sweden.

On 1st March 1940 the Swedish Government placed the remaining 54 guns under embargo. Of these 42 were used by the Army Anti-Aircraft Artillery and 12 by the Coast Artillery.

But were the guns exported to Argentina after WW 2 or did this country only have the six guns delivered before April 1940?

Picture: At least one gun is preserved in Argentina.
