the M-19 40mm AA gun, what is its history during the war?

just wondering if it served during the war and should put it in the wishlist.

Wasn't accepted into service until April 1945, just weeks before the surrender of Nazi Germany and don't believe it was sent to the PTO. Don't think it saw any action in WW2 or if it made it to any of the combat theaters. It did see action in Korea and Vietnam but of course, those actions don't make it eligible.
Oh, if you had just gone to the website you got the photo from, you could have found this out yourself.
ack-ack
