Hello to all ; a complement......................................

Infanterie UE-Schlepper 630(f) (ex-Renault UE chenillette).

About 3000 Renault UE tankettes were captured after France surrendered. Most were marked with the Balkan cross over their original colors or receiving the regular Dunkelgrau pattern. They received minor modifications by AMX, now under German control and MAN supervision.

The bulk of the UEs served as supply tanks and tractors like the original tankettes, under the Waffenamt denomination Infanterie UE-Schlepper 630(f) and Munitionsschlepper Renault UE(f). The latter had an armored roof over the bin. The usual antitank companies equipped with Renault UEs were towing tractors for the 37 mm (1.46 in) PaK 36 standard antitank gun.

So far I only knew of one picture of Renault R40 tanks in actual German service (a real beutepanzer). From ebay several pictures of a unit stationed at the Renault works.

some more Renault R40

with the former pictures the pupola hatches were the Original French one's. In this picture they have been changed in a two-piece type. From ebay, from the same photo series and unit as the former posts.

Renault R40 tanks in actual German service

The R 40 tanks had turrets armed with the long 37 mm gun (SA 38) in French service in 1940. It looks like the Germans replaced the original turrets with turrets armed with the short 37 mm gun (SA 18). They may have transferred the original turrets on H 39 tanks widely used in beute-Panzer-Abteilungen.
