Hello and welcome to The AceDestroyer! This video will be the start of a new series, the Tank Battles of WW2 series were we take a look at various incredible tank battles which were fought during the Second World War. This first video is all about the French tank ace Pierre Billotte. He was the son of a famous French General who played a central role in 1940.
Pierre Billotte destroyed 13 German tanks and 2 PaK guns in one single engagement which lasted less than an hour. He remains one of the lesser known tank aces, but that doesn’t mean that his action is less incredible than other, more famous tank or Panzer aces. Here’s the battle of Stonne, with Pierre Billotte in the Char B1 bis.
