Cuban Improvised Mack Armored Car. Havana, Cuba, September 29, 1933.


Cuban Improvised Mack Armored Car (Built in 1933)

Army troops patrolling the square of Fraternity Park in Havana on September 29, 1933, on the occasion of the burial of the ashes of the communist leader Julio Antonio Mella, assassinated in Mexico in 1929, probably by order of the Stalinist Komintern of Moscow.

Shortly after this photograph taken, begin an intense firefight between some snipers and army troops of Batista, who also fired indiscriminately on the participants in the popular manifestation.

The armored car was done on the chassis of an American truck "Mack" AC 1917. Prior to this news, had been assigned to a truck chassis American "Liberty".

The chain drive to the rear wheel and the engine nose unmistakably identify it unquestionably as belonging to a truck chassis Mack AC 1917.

Coche Blindado Improvisado Mack Cubano (construido en 1933)

Tropas del Ejército patrullando la plaza de Parque de la Fraternidad en La Habana, el 29 de septiembre de 1933, con motivo del entierro de las cenizas del líder comunista Julio Antonio Mella, asesinado en México en 1929, muy probablemente por orden del Komintern estalinista de Moscú.

Poco después de ser tomada esta fotografía, comenzaría un intenso tiroteo entre algunos francotiradores y las tropas del ejército de Batista, que también dispararon indiscriminadamente contra los participantes en la manifestación popular.

Este coche blindado fue realizado sobre el chasis de un camión estadounidense "Mack" AC de 1917. Anteriormente a esta noticia, se le había asignado un chasis de camión estadounidense "Liberty".

La transmisión por cadena a la rueda trasera y el inconfundible morro del motor lo identifican, incuestionablemente, como un chasis perteneciente a un camión Mack AC de 1917.
