> their tanks were initially technologically superior
It's my understanding that French tanks like the Char B1 and the SOMUA S35 were pretty effective in fighting German armor early in the war.
- munin 11y agothe story I have heard is that some things about french tanks were superior to german tanks - they had more armor and a more powerful main gun. however, the french had a 2 person crew, a driver and a commander/gunner, while the german had a 3 person crew, a driver, a gunner, and a commander. so the french had a more overloaded crew driving a superior tank and that didn't work out.
