Notes | FMC 2C was a throwback to WW1 and was designed to breakthrough trenches and wire and having thick armour to deal with enemy fire, but this design was now obsolete and ponderous vehicles were of no use in the type of mobile war fought in 1940, ten 2Cs were placed in one unit and according to accounts these were destroyed by their crews to avoid capture by the advancing Germans. |
