Historical and technical information

The Renault R39 was a modernized version of the popular Renault R35 light tank, which entered service with the French army just before World War II, in 1939–1940. The main upgrade was the installation of the modern 37mm SA38 gun, which provided better firepower compared to the earlier SA18 version. France used these tanks primarily during the 1940 campaign, i.e. the German invasion of France (Battle of France). The R39s were operated by the armored units of the Armée de Terre, and after the French capitulation, many were captured by the Wehrmacht and used by German forces.
