AFV in Greece

[Patrik]

How many were in service with the Greek Army M24 Chaffee and M8 Greyhound ?

[Costas_TT]

As I recall, 206 M24s were received as military aid directly from the US in 1950. More were acquired later, including a number from Italian stocks, as mentioned in an old magazine article. M8s were received from both British stocks and MDAP, so exact numbers are hard to find.

These were donated by the Army to the museum.
But they are from Greece, not in Greece.

The Sherman from the Palis Foundation seems to be a Grizzly.

A small Greek company is producing decals for Greek and Cypriot vehicles. Their instruction sheets contain good pictures of the vehicles both in service and after retirement.
