Was the 20MM FINNISH LAHTI adopted into the german armed forces? If so does anyone have pictures showing its use by the german army the reason I ask is I have one and wonder if the germans used it after the finns?

Lahti 20m/m A.T.
There are not any 20 m/m Lahti semi-auto Anti-tank rifles with German WaA proof markings that I have ever seen.. I have owned 3.. The round is the same as the German 20m/m belted round.. I am sure that some were used by German forces in Finland,and maybe someone has a pict of it in use with a German unit, I have never seen one.. The Lahti is the model 1939... KIV 39...wfgComment

Hi Bill Thank you for that information. My handbook on German Military Forces, issued by the US Army in Mar 45, does not list it, thats not to say it was not used locally just that it was not on the inventory or they had not run into them, The only 20mm AT rifle it list's is the 20mm Solothurn, which it says was issued in 2 tpyes, single shot, and single or auto shot. I quess this is not much help to you though
