A total creep
Two interesting films. Polish language only, but the images show it all.
1
reenactors firing the 40mm AA Bofors. What I found novel and fascionating was that Regulations had, when shooting at land targets, the layer and calculator (the two guys standing behind the elevation guy) hopped off the mount, leaving the firing to the vertical guy (who could depress the barrle below 0 degrees)
2
reenactors firing the 37mm AT Bofors. Nicely shows how much smaller and nimbler it was compared to the AA weapon. And hints at why infantry stuck with their 37-45mm guns for so long - human power mobility!
