Notes | The 20mm M1938 was a light anti-aircraft gun which was bought by the Greeks in 1938. It was designed and built by the German firm Rheinmetall and along with the 20mm M1930, were the standard light anti-aircraft guns of the Hellenic army. It had a similar performance to the earlier M1930, but was lighter in weight and because of this it was issued to cavalry formations. |
