Military Miniature Series
B1 bis German Army
Working for the Enemy
When the German army invaded France in May 1940, they were met a small
number of the monster B1 bis tank, which featured heavy firepower and
thick armor protection. Armed with a 75mm howitzer in the hull and a
47mm gun in a small turret, the tank also had 60mm thick armor, making
it superior to any German tank at the time. After the capitulation of
France, captured B1 bis tanks were pressed into German service after
modifications such as new radio equipment, tools, and German-standard
cupola hatches. These tanks saw action on the Eastern front, and were
also used to guard the Channel Islands.
