Char 1 bis France Nr 201

Char B1 bis with serial number 201 and personal name "France" left the factory in April of 1937. The production of the batch stretched out for almost a year: the last tank ordered by contract #1891 D/P was delivered on March 2nd, 1938. This tank carried the number 235 and personal name "Toulon". All tanks built to this contract ended up in the 510 Tank Regiment, based in Nancy. The tanks were named after French cities, provinces, and colonies.
