Default Re: Greek OOB31 v.9

Thank you for your attention to last year's notes.
I didn't mean to go back to Greece, but on the occasion, just a few updated notes (this time without artillery and stuff):

36 Anti Tank Rifle - there's no sign of such weapon. Possibly it's meant to be Polish 7.92mm wz.35 Ur, which was considered to be bought before the war, but obviously wasn't.

345 Peerless A/T - in its final version it had an armoured roof

Armament was 1 or 2 Hotchkiss LMGs sticking out from a side (and possibly rifles), not Vickers TMG. It could also carry 10-14 men. And size should be bigger (5?) - it was huge, especially with a houselike roof.


350 CV 33 - earliest CV.33 were armed with a single 6.5mm MG (not twin) (weapon 218 from Italian OOB)

(However, from 1935 they started to be retrofitted in Italy with 8 mm MGs, and I doubt if the ones with 6.5mm were used in combat, and moreover captured by Greece...)

352 CV.38 - proper photo is 20642. This vehicle has been correctly changed to 1942 year (tankettes with a new suspension were modified in 1942-43) - but there rather aren't known any armoured vehicles captured after 1941, and its formation ends in 1941... It should be removed IMO.

365 Vickers M1936 - I believe it should be class 12 Light tank, so that they are used in two-tank sections, not alone (reportedly 10 were delivered, making them most numerous Greek tanks)

365,366 Vickers Mk E(a)/(b) - both should be Infantry Tank class, so that they are used in single-tank formations (only one each was bought).

Among scarce tanks, that the Greeks did use, were two Carden Loyd VI tankettes, bought in 1930-31 (might be 1/30 without great error). Photos on https://grvehicles.wordpress.com/201...n-lloyd-mk-vi/ show, that they had an interesting armoured roof (this page however claims the date was 1935).

373-375 Humber Mk.I-III - this page https://grvehicles.wordpress.com/201...n-lloyd-mk-vi/ mentions only Mk.IV, and used from 1946.

It seems, that Marmon-Herrington III was used instead in North Africa https://grvehicles.wordpress.com/201...k-iii/#more-92

391 Ford Otter II - it should be GM Otter (or just Otter), but according to https://grvehicles.wordpress.com/201...otter/#more-96 it was used after 1945.[/quote]

476 20mm SPAA - possibly a better photo for wheeled Resistance SPAA would be eg. 30160 (used for 475 unit) instead of halftrack SdKfz-6/2..
