Renault R.35 Tank

The Renault R35 was a French light infantry tank produced before the Second World War. Its small crew, modest speed, and original short gun reflected an infantry-support concept rather than fast armored maneuver. It served in France and with several foreign users, while captured examples were also adapted by Germany for other duties.

Thick cast armor gave the R35 useful protection for its size, but its two-man arrangement left the commander responsible for several turret duties. Most early vehicles carried the short 37mm gun, which was better suited to infantry-support targets than fighting stronger tanks. Export customers included Poland and Romania. After France’s defeat, German forces reused captured hulls as tanks, tractors, or converted self-propelled weapons, extending the design’s career in roles its French developers had not intended.
