Combat Vehicles of the Battle of France

Introduction

---

The Battle of France was fought from May 10, 1940 to June 26, 1940. This summary includes production numbers of all primary fighting vehicles used during the battle. It's important to note that not all units were available on day one, or possibly even weeks later. Vehicles with an asterisk (*) next to their names were not available day 1. Vehicle numbers with a (+) next to them indicate that the number represents a minimum, and that many more of this type may have been available. At the very bottom is also a summary of vehicles that May appear if the Battle of France does not conclude as it did in late June.
