Infantry Support Tanks: The Chars Légers (light tanks) and Chars de Bataille (medium/breakthrough tanks), such as the Renault R35 and the formidable Char B1, were integrated into infantry divisions or formed independent Bataillons de Chars de Combat (BCC - combat tank battalions). These were intended for the specific roles of supporting infantry advances and breaking through fortified positions.

The B1 Bis is arguably the most famous and popular French tank of the 1940 campaign. A very notable design, featuring thick armor and a combination of anti-tank and anti-infantry firepower with the turreted 47 mm and hull-mounted 75 mm guns, the vehicle has a considerable reputation as the most potent vehicle of the French Army of 1940 and a major headache for the Germans. However, as often with the French military of 1940, the reality is more complex and less glamorous, with the B1 Bis proving to be a troublesome beast to operate, maintain and produce.
