A French Panhard 178 armored car, Eastern Front, Summer of 1941.
That's sad, I always thought it was one hell of a tank.
Hell of a tank for 1919, death trap in 1940.
It might have been 70 tons but it was so big the armor was more like 30mm in many spots. Slow, hard to steer (length to width ratio) and the biggest target on the battle field.
If only the Frecnh had not lanquished , basking in their 1918 vistory, things may have ended so differently
Panhard 178 armored car, on which Piet posted a photo, was a good one. Germans widely used them, IIRC for ex. the armoured recce battalion of 7. PzD was equipped with them during Oper. Barbarossa in 1941.
Very cool! Always loved that tank
