About tanks/vehicles operated in combat by the FFI (French Forces of the Interior) against the Germans, one can mention the 1st GMR (Groupement Mobile de Reconnaissance). This unit later called 'escadron autonome de chars Besnier' (Besnier independent tank squadron) is at first equipped with a few Panhard 178 armored cars and trucks, but in December 1944 it is equipped with many captured/repaired German vehicles :
• 1x Panhard 178 with a standard 25mm gun
• 1x Panhard 178 with a 5.0cm L/60 gun
• 2x French Unic trucks fitted with a 81mm mortar
• 2x StuG III
• 1x Tiger I
• 1x Tiger II
• 1x Panther
• 11x Panzer IV
• 1x Jagdpanzer on French Lorraine chassis
• 1x Panzerwerfer 42
• 1x SdKfz-7 with a 20mm Flak
• 2x towing halftracks
• 1x workshop truck
• 4x lights trucks
• 4x heavy trucks
Looks like my source is incorrect...nuuumannn It seems Flakturm II was the ZOO 01-05-1945 is not 1/IV/1945
