The Poles used the C2P tracked carrier as the prime mover. Crucially, each gun required a second C2P to tow the ammunition limber and one Lancia 621L truck for personnel, equipment and fuel. France didn't use the Bofors in 1940. Free French divisions equipped by the US were given complete US Army To&E, down to the band instruments and American flags, so those would have mirrored US practice. |
