anti-aircraft CENTAUR

[John McGillivray]

I think that the version of the Centaur that Luc is refering to is the AA vervion which mounted twin 20mm Polsten cannon. The Centaur Bty, which servied as part of the 6th Airborne Div. used the Centaur IV close support tank with the 95mm howitzer.

Also I think that Jean Bouchery is mistaken about the Canadians using the Centaur AA Mk II. All other references that I have seen points to the Canadians using the Crusader III AA Mk II in their armoured units.

You should note that Jean Bouchery's book contains many errors, so use it with caution.
