Historical Description

The Somua S35 was a medium cavalry tank designed in France just before World War II. After the fall of France in 1940, a significant number of S35s were captured by the Germans, who renamed them PzKpfw 35 S 735 (f) and used them during occupation and combat operations—including in Wehrmacht units stationed in Norway and Finland. There, these tanks were mainly used for patrol and training tasks, and some took part in securing key transport routes and strategic facilities.
