First Renault FT captured by Germans in May 1918

Bonsoir,

You probably knew Renault FT's photo on page 35 from "German
panzer 14-18" (Steve Zaloga - Osprey 2006).
This tank was one of the two Renault captured on May 31, 1918 near Ploisy.

There is some other photos of this tanks with interesting questions about it.

Sorry it's in French, but with some pictures.

Michel

Bonjour,

Have you the date of this photo and the German regiment's numbers ?

On Ebay, the good photo of the turret is always for two days
