Hi guys,
Here is a photo taken at Le Garand Palais, showing French Somua 35-S in parade.
Was wondering if anyone had a guess at a Unit ID?
From my limited research, I have come up with 3 possibilities so far...
** 201. Panzer Regiment - Panzer Brigade 100 (w/ 36 Somua 35S around Dec 1940)
** Panzer Ersatz Abt 100
** II./Panzer Regiment 22 (21 Pz. Div.)
Does anyone have any other input/opinions about units using numerous Somua tanks, or even info on Le Garand Palais, or estimated date of photo?
I know 2nd battalion of Panzer Regiment 22 had something like 39 Somua tanks in June of 44', But not sure on any numbers at an earlier date....
