Some guns at a Finnish museum

[perttime]

Last weekend, I visited a small museum with some "brothers in arms": "The Museum of Winter and Continuation War in Säkylä" or "Säkylän Talvi- ja jatkosotamuseo"

Here's a few pics:

I think the anti-tank gun is a Bofors 37mm:

The anti-tank gun does look like a Bofors. I forgot to make notes about it.
The L39 soon became too weak against improving armour - but still had its uses.

The Finnish 'swastika' looks much less evil the other way round.

Not sure how the "hakaristi" (hooked cross) with odd proportions ended up on Finnish armoured vehicles. It was only used from 1941 to 1944.
The story of the blue air force one (1918 to 1945) is pretty clear.

That 75mm gun is a M1917 .

That 75mm gun is a M1917 .

I believe it is. WWI guns in WWII times, refurbished and possibly with some tweaks to fit the ways General Nenonen wanted to use artillery.

The US used that gun from 1918 up to 1945 ..shows it was quite useful and the Finns thought so to
