Automitrailleuses De Reconnaissance : L Amr 33 Renault Paperback
by Francois Vauvillier
Part of the Les Materiels de l'Armee Francaise series
Paperback
Description
At the outbreak of WWII, the French cavalry comprised a wide number of AFVs that will be "the first and the last to fight", according to the great traditions of this branch of service.
In this first volume, the emphasis is put on the Renault VM model 1933 light cavalry tank which had received the official and rather confusing name of "automitrailleuse de reconnaissance" (AMR), i.e. recce armoured car. In fact, it was a proper tank, although very light and ill-armed (a single 7,5 mm machine-gun), but fast and agile, as should be any cavalry combat vehicle.
The AMRs fought gallantly in May 1940.
