PANZERIV CHARB1BIS DUEL Engage the Enemy PANZER IV VS CHAR B1 BIS France 1940 The Battle of France in 1940 involved the first large-scale tank-against-tank battles in history. The massive clashes at Stonne, Hannant, and Gembloux involved hundreds of tanks on both sides, yet have faded from memory due to the enormity of the French defeat. This book examines two of the premier opposing tanks of the Wehrmacht and the French Army, the German PzKpfw IV PANZER IV and the French Char B1 bis. With a complete history of the design, development, and deployment of these armored fighting vehicles, the story of these great battles is once again brought to life.

English French German Italian Spanish. The Saint-Chamond tanks, first deployed on 5 May, proved to be so badly designed that they were unable to cross the first line of German trenches. The last 35 new battle tanks were in ordered by Cyprus and the last new variant vehicles, a batch of twenty GCTs, in by France. Chlorine gas attacked the eyes and respiratory system; mustard gas did the same but also caused blistering on any exposed skin. In December , the influential Colonel Estienne made the Supreme Command very enthusiastic about the idea of creating an armoured force based on these vehicles; strong Army support for tanks would be a constant during the decades to come. De Gaulle used it to delegitimize cooperation with the Vichy regime. Submarines could strike unseen from beneath the waves with torpedoes but also surfaced to use their deck gun.

The resulting disorder and breakdown of most of its S 35s rendered this unit, the most powerful of all Allied divisions, impotent; it was defeated by the German 5th Panzerdivision on 17 May.

    NORTH ESSEX MODELLERS NEWSJuly 2021 Intro The good news is that our return to club meetings this month is ON! Yes, finally something approaching normality returns to our club, with our July meeting happening on July 15, subject to certain conditions which you should see attached to the email accompanying this newsletter. Chiefly this will mean that facemasks are “encouraged”, as per our meetings last summer, whilst we will need to forego our usual arrangement of tables at Stanway Village Hall since under the Hall’s Covid rules it would have put a tight restriction on the number of attendees we were allowed! However, we do not anticipate that our plans for the meeting need to be unduly disrupted, and these comprise another Bring & Buy sale of kits, books and other modelling paraphernalia. Do come along and buy, sell, exchange or otherwise just chat like we all used to do….! For the benefit of those whose familiarity with the club has so far not included meetings (and those who might have forgotten…?) we have Stanway Village Hall booked from 7pm onwards, although the first hour is generally very informal as not everyone is able to arrive at this time. Two tables will be set aside for models that people have brought in: one is for finished models and the other for “work in progress”. At around 8pm we give everyone a chance to say a few words about any models they have brought in, after which we cover any important announcements and move on to whatever special theme we have arranged for the meeting……..which is rather informal in the case of the July meeting, as you will appreciate! Towards the end of the evening, one of the club committee will be handing out slips of paper for everyone to vote for their first, second and third choice from the finished models, with the winner announced once all of the votes have been totted up.

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.

    Spring 2015 Industry Study Final Report Land Combat Systems The Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy National Defense University Fort McNair, Washington, D.C. 20319-5062 i LAND COMBAT SYSTEMS 2015 ABSTRACT: The Land Combat Systems (LCS) industry, which consists of the Combat Vehicle (CV) market and the Tactical Wheeled Vehicle (TWV) market, faces challenges following the drawdown of U.S forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Looming budget cuts, defense force structure realignments, and a new U.S. National Security Strategy have caused instability across the LCS industrial base. The TWV market has remained competitive for both Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers because of the predominately commercial nature of this segment of the industry. Due to the military unique nature of combat vehicles (no commercial application), the CV market has fewer OEMs and suppliers, although these market participants compete aggressively. As the Department of Defense (DoD) continues to struggle with budget cuts and Congressional directives, both industry and DoD must work together to ensure that the LCS industry remains viable domestically, while also seeking "best of breed" products from the global marketplace.
