1940 World War Two Battle for France at Stonne

е:

If you liked Fury, you might like Fleurie.

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.

None of our videos including this one are intended to glorify or trivialize warfare or those who participated in it, on either side, usually reluctantly.
