Fighting with courage
Developed from the mid-1930s as a cavalry tank, the SOMUA S35 used a number of cast metal parts to optimize production efficiency; The bolt-on molded hull design was ahead of its time. With a 47mm main gun and a 190hp V8 petrol engine allowing it to reach 40km/h, the SOMUA S35 was an efficient vehicle. The approximately 430 examples produced between 1936 and June 1940 proved a formidable opponent for the German forces in the fighting in Belgium and northern France, their balanced performance leading many to hail the S35 as the best tank available to France at the start of World War II.
