The Renault R35, an abbreviation of Char léger Modèle 1935 R or
R35, was a French light infantry tank of the Second World War.
Designed from 1933 and produced from 1936, the tank was intended as
an infantry support light tank. To this end it was relatively
well-armored but slow and lacking a good antitank-capacity, fitted
with a short 37 mm gun. At the outbreak of the war, the
antitank-role was more emphasized leading to the development and
eventual production from April 1940 of a subtype with a more
powerful longer gun, the Renault R40. Due to the defeat of France
the R35/40 remained the most numerous French tank of the war. About
1680 vehicles having been produced by June 1940. In this volume the
author provides a detailed impression of these vehicles through
original photographs, taken both during by the normal German
General
