    Between May 15 and 17 of 1940, the town of Stonne was the focus of hard fighting between the French and Germans. The town changed hands 17 times in the three days of battling. Involved in the fighting were Renault B1 Bis tanks from the third division of a Bataillon de Chars de Combat. One B1 Bis was numbered 350, named Fleurie. Another tank from the same division, number 337, named Eure, destroyed a column of two Panzer IV and eleven Panzer III tanks lined up on the street on May 16. Some people say the French tanks could have defended France if they had been deployed differently, and had enough gas and ammunition handy, and had radios, and anti-aircraft protection, and better luck, etc.

    France really had the superior armour and encounters like this actually happened. But the Germans made the right decision to punch through the weakest spot of the French defenses, the Ardennes, and they squeezed all their heavy tank divisions through that one gap, ending up in the enemy's rear and encircling the Allies all the way up to Dunkirk. The French heavy armor proved to be an incredibly tough opponent and the Germans literaly drowned them in their numbers.

    Fun fact :
    After this batte the French tank leave the city for repairs. The Germans soldiers came back during the night.
    They also dig tranches because the B1-bis tank cannot shoot them in tranches.
    The french army send another b1-bis on stonne in the morning.
    This tank name was "Le riquewihr"
    After this battle he won the nickname "stonne's butcher"
    Why?
    The tank but one of his tracks in the tranches... And literally transformed German troops into lasagna.

    The idea that french tanks from 1940 are stronger than the german tanks used during the Battle of France is actually true. If you take each tank individually, the light french tank overpowered the german light tank and could rival with the german medium tank (which was the Pz III at the time). Same goes for the french medium tank (the S35 Somua I think) who could rival with the Pz IV. As for the B1 Bis, it was more powerful than any other german tank from 1940. This is mostly explained by the fact that almost every french tank (even light tanks, as seen in WOT for example) are incredibly resistant (40mm of armor, against 35mm for the Pz IV, which was the german tank which had the best armor in 1940)
    However, if the french tanks seemed much stronger than their german counterparts, they suffered from a lot of problems (related or not to the tank itself): the tank related problems are that the tank commander was also the one who was in charge of the gun (which mean hé had to fulfill three roles at the same time), they didn't have a very powerful gun or a good communication system, and they were very slow (more resistant tanks so slower tanks), mainly because the french generals were still in the same way of thinking as in WWI (trenches war, tanks must be used as infantry support, so they needed better armored tanks). Another explanation is that most of the money used for military development went into building line Maginot, and as such France suffered an important delay in the development of new tanks, or new airplanes. Ironically, the one person who asked for a change in how the french generals used the tanks, and instead asked for the creation of french tank divisions like the germans had, was a tank officer named Charles De Gaulle, the same person who ended up leading the french resistance from London. Maybe they should have listened to him after all...

    French tanks are pretty damn tough in early days of World War 2, as French doctrine put the tank's role as to support infantry, thus they're given heavy armor and big guns to help infantry breaks through or helps them defend. If France successfully hold back the blitzkrieg or at least draws it out a longer, they could've rolls out a heavy tank in the class of Tiger by 1942.

      Leclercs, although not as armoured as the Leopard 2, can accurately track an enemy tank and fire with the primary turret whilst at full speed. This feature is incredibly hard to obtain on the tanks we have these days. The Churchill also makes it into the top 10 because of its reactive armour (a well guarded secret recipe by the brits). In terms of Air force, the French Armée de l'Air is superior in technology to both the Luftwaffe and the RAF, although this is mainly due to the Luftwaffe having post-war restrictions on what it can develop, and the RAF having a tight budget. A Rafale de Gualle can go head to head with an American or Russian jet and have a fair fight. Where as Germany primarily uses Eurofighter Tycoon 2s and Britain; Harriers (mk. 2?). France also has a bloody lot of Nuclear missiles, and Britain mainly has its warheads in subs, due to its lack of space on its island, Germany isn't even allowed to have Nuclear armaments, so France could probably kick half of Europe's ass right now. Not to mention they currently have more ships than the British in their navy (Britain only just finished their only carrier, with a second one on the way).

      cette résistance, retarda considérablement l'avancée des forces allemandes,et lui fit perdre 50% de son aviation.

The Seconde day an other B1 bis was sent, named Riquewihr (and not Fleurie) and drive on german's soldier (died by the carterpilar track of the tank). The tank surname was the butcher of Stone.

    Kinda sad that you have to watch Lego movies to get an idea of the French commitment. We fucked them in the long run but they sure as hell knew how to put up a fight till we reached Paris. Politics aside, it seems the only reason the French had to surrender in the long run is because their government fucked up. If French politics were behind their soldiers just as much as their German contemporaries, things might have gone different.
    Anyway, thank fuck this shit is over. I enjoy my Europe where I can eat a baguette with Nutella while listening to BBC1 without occupying the entire continent. Friendship is stronger in the long run.

      I always knew the French were brave in WW2, I knew about their commitment throughout the war, certainly one of the more stronger countries who kicked the shit out of the Nazis. I respect both France and its military might.

    • @don-ev4ci
      @don-ev4ci 8 років тому +8

      +5upreme Really, the major reasons why the French lost was because the command structure was shit and politics. Their military, in terms of equipment and training, were top notch in Europe.

    • @5upreme688
      @5upreme688 8 років тому +7

      Combat Commie I knew it!! History books bullshit France's military during the second world war era too much. That's why they're one of the more better military powers in Europe/the world imo. Kind of unfortunate France doesn't get the respect they deserve.

    What the tanks used in the film
    B1 - France tank - heavy - strong armour
    Panzer 2 - rapid fire tank - light tank -weak armor
    Panzer 4 - Medium tank - kind of strong armor
