Description:

The French campaign began on May 10, 1940, with the German army’s invasion of the Netherlands. After five weeks of fighting, it ended with the collapse of the French army. In the public imagination, this defeat—often wrongly described as a total rout—is blamed on outdated equipment, supposedly outmatched by that of the German military. In reality, that wasn’t the case, as the Wehrmacht lost half of its tanks and aircraft during those five weeks of fighting. Most of the records from that period come from the Propaganda Kompanie and mostly depict destroyed or abandoned French tanks. French combat vehicles are of great interest from both a modeling and historical perspective and offer endless possibilities when it comes to incorporating them into small scenes or larger dioramas, as we will see in this publication. The collection of French tanks featured in the book, detailed step-by-step, is entirely dedicated to 1:35 scale vehicles set in WWII.
