Nice Renault Bill, I had that one tucked away somewhere too... good old ebay.
Here's a Renault B1, that seems to be related to one I poseted earlier in Waffen SS service.
Cheers
Steve

conversions of beute FCM36
I have a question on the German use of the French FCM36.
Spielberger states in his book "Beute-Kraftfahrzeuge und -Panzer" that 48 FCM36 were converted with 75mm-Pak40 and that another 48 were converted with 105mm-leFH 16. That makes 96 in total, quite an achievement as only 100 FCM36 were ever made. But it is quite possible that I misunderstand the text.
On http://www.wikipedia.nl the number of conversions is 12 FCM.
Does anybody have the right numbers of these types?
