<p>Serial No 57.
The S-35 was a French cavalry tank built between 1935 and 1940, with over 400 produced.
After the fall of France in 1940, captured S-35s served with Germany, Hungary, Italy and Bulgaria. 
This example was captured and employed by the Germans, who carried out various small modifications (German aerial base, and commander’s cupola cut off in the style adopted by Germans on captured French equipment). 
It was presented to the museum by France in June 1957 and wears the markings of the 4th Cuirassiers of 1st DLM, which adopted the Joan of Arc badge. Its side hatch is removed so the interior can be seen.
On display at The Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset, UK.
