  • Hotchkiss H 35 1/35
    1/35 HOTCHKISS H 35 81132 81132-076 F Au début des années 30, l’armée française n’a toujours pas trouvé de remplaçant pour le char FT qui est devenu obsolète. Les budgets d’armement sont en forte hausse car la situation internationale commence à se dégrader. Alors que les autorités militaires tardent à publier les spécifications pour un nouveau char, le directeur de la société HOTCHKISS va prendre l’initiative de rencontrer les membres de l’Etat-Major autour d’une maquette en plâtre pour leur montrer ce qu’ils peuvent attendre de la technologie militaire existant alors. C’est de ces entretiens que va naître le programme de chars légers. Dès lors cela va lui permettre de pouvoir présenter son avant-projet six semaines avant la publication du programme officiel, coiffant sur le poteau tous ses concurrents. Les desiderata de l’armée s’orientent vers un char léger de petite taille dont le poids ne doit pas excéder les cinq ou six tonnes. Il est d’ailleurs envisagé qu’il puisse s’agir d’un char casemate donc sans tourelle, pour l’alléger. Le programme de chars légers est publié le 2 août 1933 alors qu’ HOTCHKISS a déjà reçu une commande de trois prototypes plusieurs semaines auparavant. Les deux premiers sont présentés à la commission de Vincennes le 18 janvier 1935. Il s’agit de chars casemates dont la caisse est en acier moulé, ce qui est plutôt novateur pour l’époque. Mais ils ne répondent déjà plus aux nouvelles spécifications car entre-temps le nouveau canon de 25 mm est produit en série et sa munition perce aisément les 30 mm de blindage qui paraissaient bien suffisants un an plus tôt.

    1 1939-1940 FRENCH ARMAMENT by David Lehmann April 19, 2006 NOTES ABOUT INFANTRY / CAVALRY UNITS INFANTRY There are many different types of infantry troops : ! Infantry ! Light infantry ! Light infantry, type Overseas ! Motorized infantry ! Mechanized infantry ! Mountain infantry ! Light mountain infantry ! North African infantry ! Colonial infantry And different types of infantry units : ! Infantry Brigade ! Metropolitan Infantry Regiment type "North-East" ! Metropolitan Infantry Regiment type "Overseas" ! Half-Brigade and Battalions of Chasseurs ! Zouave Infantry Regiment ! North African Tirailleurs Regiments ! Mountain Infantry Regiment ! Half-Brigade and Battalions of Alpine Chasseurs ! Pyrenean Half-Brigade and Battalions ! Motorized Infantry Regiment ! Mechanized Infantry Battalion ! Foreign Legion Regiment, Battalion, Half-Brigade, Brigade ! Half-Brigade and Battalions of Light Infantry ! Fortress Infantry Regiments ! Alpine Fortress Half-Brigades and Battalions ! Machine-gun Battalions Dragons portés "Dragons Portés" (Portés means roughly carried by a vehicle) is a motorized infantry kind of unit. The Dragons Portés were professional units of better morale, though few personnel had any combat experience (senior officers were often WW1, Poland and/or Rif war veterans though). They were the motorized infantry in the Division Légère Mécanique (DLM) and Division Légère de Cavalerie (DLC). The firepower of the squads was high since each was armed with two LMGs instead of only one for a typical infantry squad. The Dragons Portés squad was designed to cover a large ground area and as such during initial planning for these units (in the early 30's), each squad received 2 LMGs. At the beginning, all squads were equipped with 2 vehicles (Citroën-Kégresse P19) carrying each 1 LMG and 7 men : in fact 1 half-squad of 6 men + 1 driver.

During the immediate pre-war period response to the German attack through the Ardennes the main Metropolitan army was brought up to strength that scuppered the allied cause. Fortunately, as with reservists and augmented by units from the African wargamers we have clear advantages over generals of army. There were also numerous colonial units, of which yesteryear: our tactics are superb, our supply lines some Senegalese regiments fought during the Battle of inconsequential (unless you count lack of tea), and even France. In writing up the details for these units I have not our occasional mistakes (perish the thought) can be concerned myself too much with problems of supply and erased with a rematch. logistics, command, strategy or national morale – all of So, taking the mechanical capabilities of our tanks as which compromised the effectiveness of the French the benchmark, we only have to allocate suitable stats: army in its struggle against the invaders. Rather I have dividing tanks into light, medium and heavy; and guns sketched out the composition of typical formations and similarly. The first issue that presents itself is that many their equipment. The best French troops and the best of French tanks fall between two stools – often being well their equipment were as good as – and sometimes better armoured for their day for example, but not comparably than – the German equivalents.

  • World War II Department
    MUSÉE DE L’ARMÉE Presentation of a department The Second World War in the Army Museum This pedagogical course aims at recounting the significant stages of World War II, shedding a light on France’s situation in particular, from the 1940 defeat to the 1944 Liberation. It unfolds through three distinct rooms. The Leclerc room (1939 – 1942) is dedicated to the « années noires » (dark years) during which the Axis perpetrates repeated aggressions. The Juin room (1942 – 1944) evokes the situation of occupied countries as well as the first allied victories. The events leading to the capitulation of Nazi Germany and Japan are presented in the de Lattre room. On this platform, a specific space deals with the discovery of the camps. The course ends with the “conclusive acts” of World War II. Displayed objects and didactic material are organized in successive sequences. Each sequence is indicated by an introducing board briefly indicating the historical context. Audiovisual animations, a total of 32 projections, on both small and large screens, offer montages of filmed archives or specifically designed productions for the illustration of some sequences. The various military campaigns are illustrated through maps and sets of maps which allow following the course of events. What happens before World War II is evoked in the last part of the Foch room dedicated to the interwar years. In 1933, Hitler legally rises to power in Germany and sets up a totalitarian regime. The nazi party provides for the press-ganging of the German population and the ideological indoctrination of the children. This militarization of society is part of the process of preparation to war launched by Hitler.
