Which one was the better tank the Panzerkampfwagen Ausführung D or the French S-35 Somua tank? We look at firepower, armor protection, ergonomics, visibility, mobility and communications. Additionally, a short discussion on why the Panzer III E and Char B1 bis are not used in comparison. The video includes visuals and also footage from the Tank Fest 2018.
Nick's original question:
Given that your most recent video touches on the Tactical/Technical differences of the Panzer III and the T-34, my curiosity was peaked in regards to other tank comparisons. My question is this: which tank out of the British Expeditionary Forces and the French Army was the most comparable or the biggest threat to the Panzerwaffe during the invasion of France in 1940?
