surinam guns
Hi Chris,
I am in Surinam right now and took some pics at the site two days ago. There are actually two of these guns, the other one I think in slightly better shape. When I am back I will post the pics.
A guide at the site, a neglected historical museum called Fort Nieuw Amsterdam, was aware of the anti-tank guns (but not of the historical background we know) and suggested more may still be in use or in reserve with the Surinam National Army!
The guns were probably stationed at the fort as well during WW2 as there were many fortified positions around the 18th century ramparts.
I am on a mission here and not sure if I have more time to dig around. Will try though.
Regards,
Nuyt
