Destroyed French Hotchkiss H-35 with dead crewmen. France, 1940.

Destroyed Tank

Several German Tiger tanks were captured intact during the fighting for the liberation of France. Several of these machines were re-employed, but not in sufficient number to form a complete unit. Moreover, maintenance difficulties and lack of spare parts quickly led to the abandonment of these mechanical monsters. France, 1944.
