Vehicle description

Wargaming Tankopedia

We knew that the occupation could not last forever. Come on, did they really think that the people of France would accept it? Impossible. There is a reason why the whole world knows about the French Revolution. Nobody can make us live in that way, as if we will just obey every command our 'master' gives us. To be French is to love freedom. So when they were trying to take it away from us this time, even in the darkest hours, I always believed in France. And when the battle came at Normandy, as a Normand, I knew that it was the time—the time to show who we are and what we stand for.
