Notes | The TL 2 was the Dutch name for the Scotti 20mm light anti-aircraft canon. The Scotti was a similar type gun to the Oerlikon and originated from Italy. The Scotti was chosen because the Swiss could not keep up their supply of Oerlikons and this forced the Dutch to look elsewhere. They were only purchased in small numbers and these were issued to light anti-aircraft platoons that were located to defend armaments factories. |
