FCM 36 French Light Tank In German Service

After the defeat of France in the summer of 1940 many French armoured vehicles fell into the hands of the Wehrmacht with lots of them being captured in perfect condition. The German army later used them in various combat operations and also used them as auxiliary and training vehicles.

Among the captured military vehicles were the FCM 36 tanks which were previously part of two French tank battalions. Before the defeat of France they managed to take part in several combat skirmishes in the spring and summer of 1940. The total number of these combat vehicles received by the Wehrmacht numbered around 50. Later many of them became the basis for the creation of self-propelled anti-tank guns and self-propelled howitzers.
