The Renault R35, was a French light infantry tank of the Second World War.Designed from 1933 and produced from 1936, the type was intended as a light infantry support tank, equipping autonomous tank battalions, that would be allocated to individual infantry divisions to assist them in executing offensive operations. To this end it was relatively well-armoured but slow and lacking a good antitank-capacity, fitted with a short 37 mm gun. At the outbreak of the war, the antitank-rôle was more emphasized leading to the development and eventual production from April 1940 of a subtype with a more powerful longer gun, the Renault R40. It was planned to shift new production capacity to the manufacture of other, faster, types, but due to the defeat of France the R35/40 remained the most numerous French tank of the war, about 1685 vehicles having been produced in June 1940. At that moment it had also been exported to Poland, Romania, Turkey and Yugoslavia. For the remainder of the war Germany and its allies would use captured vehicles, some of them rebuilt into tank destroyers.

The Panzerjäger 35R is a German tank destroyer from the Second World War. The length of the wagon was about 4.3 meters, and its combat weight was 11 tons. The drive was provided by a single 4-cylinder Renault 447 engine with 82 HP. The armament consisted of a single 47mm PaK36 (t) cannon or, less commonly, a 50mm PaK38 cannon. The top speed was 19-20 km / h.
The Panzerjäger 35R was developed by Alkett as a far-reaching modernization of the captured French Renault R-35 tanks, and the entire structure was created under some influence of the Panzerjager I. an armored case with the main armament was installed. Due to the relatively low speed, vehicles of this type were assigned primarily to infantry units. Most of the vehicles produced served in France. They were most likely used to repel the attack on Dieppe in 1942 and certainly during the fighting in Normandy in 1944. The lion's share of them was lost there in the period from June to August 1944.
