What Wurger said and with an observation.
If you follow what i post on the chars you will notice that german soldiers had (certainly till end 1942):
Look at i.g. Ouragan in this thread. How much is that photographed.
I have the distinct feeling that all those pictures gave/give the impression of 1000 of tanks destroyed. But in fact as one can see, most were just left probably out of gas or just broken down.
To give my feeling just a little more substance i collected what i came across on eBay.
The char 1 bis is an impressive machine and a good prop for some selfie for tze heimat.
That is i think why so many pictures were taken in the first place
And thus gave a bit of not on the whole deserved bad press for the performance of the char 1.
