Panzer IV vs. S-35 Somua - Comparison in 1940

Which one was the better tank the Panzerkampfwagen Ausführung D or the French S-35 Somua tank? We look at firepower, armor protection, ergonomics, visibility, mobility and communications. Additionally, a short discussion on why the Panzer III E and Char B1 bis are not used in comparison. The video includes visuals and also footage from the Tank Fest 2018. Nick's original question: Given that your most recent video touches on the Tactical/Technical differences of the Panzer III and the T-34, my curiosity was peaked in regards to other tank comparisons. My question is this: which tank out of the British Expeditionary Forces and the French Army was the most comparable or the biggest threat to the Panzerwaffe during the invasion of France in 1940? »» SUPPORT MHV «« » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/mhv » subscribe star - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » paypal donation - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=TFHEY4P4YU3NY » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view »» MERCHANDISE - SPOILS OF WAR «« » shop - https://www.redbubble.com/people/mhvis/shop »» SOCIAL MEDIA «« » minds.com - https://www.minds.com/militaryhistoryvisualized » facebook - https://www.facebook.com/milhistoryvisualized/ » twitter - https://twitter.com/MilHiVisualized » twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/militaryhistoryvisualized » RallyPoint - https://www.rallypoint.com/organizations/military-history-visualized » tumblr - http://militaryhistoryvisualized.tumblr.com/ Military History NOT Visualized is a support channel to Military History Visualized with a focus personal accounts, answering questions that arose on the main channel and showcasing events like visiting museums, using equipment or military hardware. » SOURCES « Zaloga, Steven J.: French Tanks of World War II (1) – Infantry and Battle Tanks.
