The Battle of Hannut was a Second World War battle fought during the Battle of Belgium which took place between 12 and 14 May 1940 at Hannut in Belgium. It was the largest tank battle in the campaign. It was also the largest clash of tanks in armoured warfare history at the time.

As a franchman thank you for showing that my countrymates fought bravely in 1940 and didn't ran evry time they saw some germans

[jacobzehner]

Interesting fact that during that battle the French were capable of destroying more panzer tanks and losing less of their own tanks and the French had more tanks than the Germans at that time.

My late grandfather was in the 1er Régiment de Dragons Portés / 2nd Mechanized Light Division / 1st Army that saw action in the double battle of Hannut / Gembloux. Never talked much about the war to my father. He recalled that he had twicked an Hotchkiss tank so that it could drive faster and that it had been evacuated at Dunkirk 'sur un superbe navire de ligne anglais' ie 'on a very fine British liner' (TSS Tynwald according to its military papers). The regiment spent two days in Weymouth in England to recover as they had not slept since start of the German offensive and then was sent back to the front line in France via night shipping to Cherbourg. His regiment was partially re-equipped and fought a delaying battle at one division against three until the armistice was signed on the 21st of June 1940. My grandfather survived the campaign but his squadron's commander, a captain and a WWI veteran, did not have this chance and got killed in May. One of the 100, 000 French soldiers who would never come back from the Campaign of the West 1940 either KIA, dying from wounds or as POW.

It is a testament to the French tankers they acheived all of this with only two man crews, and could have done so much more were it for proper planning 🇫🇷

Absolutely love the attention to detail in your video! It's incredible to see how our tanks come to life. Looking forward to seeing our Tiger 1 in action!

love how you showed the tank driver half out of the turret by detaching his arms like that, nice parts usage

Awesome intense clash of tanks! And the final shootout was great as well

I like how you showed that the French didn’t have sufficient radios in their tanks.

Incredible work, I love the attention to detail with the French tankers. And the camera angles. Good job

I love the aesthetics of the early-war French tanks.
This was amazing

[GrenedearProductions]

One of the most formidable tanks for the Germans during the battle was 35t and panzer 3

I love how you make the small details like they using flag to communicate
