As we expanded upon in our previous video of the series, the French B1 Bis tank was a very peculiar design - one which, on paper, appeared to be one of the strongest tank of the 1930s, but which featured a number of sometimes superficial, sometimes critical flaws which would end up vastly hampering its use in operations - which is what we are going to see now: The B1 Bis’s use in combat during the campaign of France, and beyond.
