Orion Figures 064 1/72 WWII French Tank Crew

When France went to war in 1939, her army was hailed as one of the strongest in the world, and included one of the largest number of tanks, making it seem like a match for anything that could threaten the country. When the invasion came in 1940, however, much of the reason for the failure of the French armour was the poor tactical use of those tanks, many of which had no radios and were used in small parcels as infantry support. After the Armistice of June 1940, France was not permitted to have any tanks except some old models in the colonies.
