German FT-17
Dated: October 1, 2007.
Hi guys
Still finding uses for your FT-17 kit after reading that the Germans were still using them in 1944, though admittedly not generally in the front lines. On the other hand, there are plenty of accounts of captured French tanks involved in the fighting in Normandy, so who's to say that some FT-17s weren't involved? (Go on, somebody tell me why not!) Anyway, I've seen some interesting pictures of FT-17s in German motor pools in 1944, and they must have got an outing at some stage, so here are a couple on manoevers. The Allies don't stand a chance!
