The FCM 36 or Char léger Modèle 1936 FCM was a light infantry tank
developed for the French Army just before the Second World War. Built by
Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerranée (FCM), it was a modern French
light infantry tank at the time. With a crew of two, it was equipped
with a 37 mm short gun and a 7.5mm coaxial machine gun. The FCM 36 took
part in the Franco-German battles of May/June 1940.
After the defeat of France in the summer of 1940, many French
armoured vehicles fell into the hands of the Wehrmacht. They were
subsequently used in various combat operations, but also as support and
training equipment.
