Captured French equipment in Normandy
Captured French equipment in Normandy
I'm doing a paper for my university class, and I was wondering if someone could help me out. I'm looking for the different types of vehicles/tanks in german service that were captured from the french but used in Normandy. For example the 21st PD used the S35s if I remember correctly. Any types of tanks, numbers or units they belonged to while in Normandy would really help me a lot. Thanks anyways guys.
