1940 LEGO World War Two Battle for France at Stonne

- If you liked Fury, you might like Fleurie.
Between May 15 and 17 of 1940, the town of Stonne was the focus of hard fighting between the French and Germans. The town changed hands 17 times in the three days of battling. Involved in the fighting were Renault B1 Bis tanks from the third division of a Bataillon de Chars de Combat. One B1 Bis was numbered 350, named Fleurie. Another tank from the same division, number 337, named Eure, destroyed a column of two Panzer IV and eleven Panzer III tanks lined up on the street on May 16. Some people say the French tanks could have defended France if they had been deployed differently, and had enough gas and ammunition handy, and had radios, and anti-aircraft protection, and better luck, etc.

France really had the superior armour and encounters like this actually happened. But the Germans made the right decision to punch through the weakest spot of the French defenses, the Ardennes, and they squeezed all their heavy tank divisions through that one gap, ending up in the enemy's rear and encircling the Allies all the way up to Dunkirk. The French heavy armor proved to be an incredibly tough opponent and the Germans literaly drowned them in their numbers.
Better tanks, but worse doctrine really describes the early war allies

Fun fact :
After this batte the French tank leave the city for repairs. The Germans soldiers came back during the night.
They also dig tranches because the B1-bis tank cannot shoot them in tranches.
The french army send another b1-bis on stonne in the morning.
This tank name was "Le riquewihr"
After this battle he won the nickname "stonne's butcher"
Why?
The tank but one of his tracks in the tranches... And literally transformed German troops into lasagna.

French soldiers were not cowards. They fought hard, even when the odds are against them. When many surrender in France, the rest kept on fighting in other theaters of operation until France was librated......and kept on fighting all the way to Germany.
Get this book; Case Red: The Collapse of France by Robert Forczyk You will appreciate the French military more given how France government messed everything up before 1939

Cowardly cats
eScet 1 Yep, they did nothing, even in september 1939 in Poland. They promised to help, but they did nothing. But in 1940 in France about 100 000 polish soldiers were fighting.
the hardest combat in Stonne was take from the B1b "Eure" who was send alone to the village...in the main street, it encounter a column of 13 PZW II and III: the B1b destroy the first from the column with the 47mm high velocity canon, and the last with the 75mm "casemate" howitzer, so was all Panzer unable to flee, and the B1b destroy all 13 tanks...During the return to base, it was shot from 2 german anti tank guns, who was same destroyed from the b1b.The B1b Eure return to base with 140 anti tank shells impacts...Because it need some repair, the next day was the B1b "Riquewihr" send to Stonne, was later ninamed "the bucher of Stonne" because make a massacre of german infantry, some crush under he's tracks...the germans won finaly with numeral superiority (and amphetamin drug...), but this battle was known in the german army as "the Verdun from 1940"...

Fyrestorm Gaming LOL
The idea that french tanks from 1940 are stronger than the german tanks used during the Battle of France is actually true. If you take each tank individually, the light french tank overpowered the german light tank and could rival with the german medium tank (which was the Pz III at the time). Same goes for the french medium tank (the S35 Somua I think) who could rival with the Pz IV. As for the B1 Bis, it was more powerful than any other german tank from 1940. This is mostly explained by the fact that almost every french tank (even light tanks, as seen in WOT for example) are incredibly resistant (40mm of armor, against 35mm for the Pz IV, which was the german tank which had the best armor in 1940)
However, if the french tanks seemed much stronger than their german counterparts, they suffered from a lot of problems (related or not to the tank itself): the tank related problems are that the tank commander was also the one who was in charge of the gun (which mean hé had to fulfill three roles at the same time), they didn't have a very powerful gun or a good communication system, and they were very slow (more resistant tanks so slower tanks), mainly because the french generals were still in the same way of thinking as in WWI (trenches war, tanks must be used as infantry support, so they needed better armored tanks). Another explanation is that most of the money used for military development went into building line Maginot, and as such France suffered an important delay in the development of new tanks, or new airplanes. Ironically, the one person who asked for a change in how the french generals used the tanks, and instead asked for the creation of french tank divisions like the germans had, was a tank officer named Charles De Gaulle, the same person who ended up leading the french resistance from London. Maybe they should have listened to him after all...
Very true. Nice analysis.
and the worse problem was about the gestionarry of fuel and ammunition supplies for thooses tanks.
in the end of 1940, germans could capture 400 french tanks without fight them: thooses 400 tanks wheren't supplied...
no ft 17 was no match for panzer 2 also for somua panzer 4 can destroy it and b1 bis... is op
Erwin Rommel yes, but PZ4 and STUG 3C where only a few part of the panzerwaffe, the biggest part of the panzerwaffe was made of PZ 1 2 and 3. and french had the R35 and the H35 too, wich where light tanks with anough armor to resist to PZ3's 37mm and first 50mm gun.
gamecube-king/ devon3 to be honest b1 was good tank maybe even the best tank in 1940 but 300 panzer 4 was in action
too bad their military leadership wasnt as good as their tanks
Oof
Facts
As a French guy, I sadly have to approve.
Also not recovering well from the first world war. Germany invading France was basically like someone beating up a wounded person that hasn't fully recovered
Flanking flanker
What you say is not wrong.
But there was very poor strategic thinking at stake as well.
The over-confidence in the « Ligne Maginot » which revealed itself completely useless, some regiments which existed only on the paper and so on...
1:25 was dat a 37mm gun trying to penetrate a Char B1?
Accualy if they try use APCR They can Pen it
2cm imo, so not a fucking chance
It is a 47mm gun
It was a german 37 mm antitank gun (PAK 37 MM)... it was the most numerous AT at those time, but was totally unefficient against french B1 Bis, french Somua S35 or birtish Matilda...

Now this is the Lego film I want to see in cinema, truly brilliant
French tanks are pretty damn tough in early days of World War 2, as French doctrine put the tank's role as to support infantry, thus they're given heavy armor and big guns to help infantry breaks through or helps them defend. If France successfully hold back the blitzkrieg or at least draws it out a longer, they could've rolls out a heavy tank in the class of Tiger by 1942.
infantry support tanks supported infantry. The DLMs and DCs, armored divisions, were not. The B1 was not infantry support.
@@AkaRyupl
Long story short.
1.4 million dead in WWI = big trauma = country is divided = nobody wants war = defensive tactics = Ardennes breakthrough
Add to that old generals who wouldn't go into retirement and you have a nice cocktail for defeat against a more populous and fanatised country
@@kimok4716

This is awesome ! Great work
The Germans nicknamed the Char B1bis the 'Stahlcolouss' (Steel Coloussus) for its thick armour, and this video conveys this perfectly.

Finally something that goes away from the clichees about the french "surrendering" straight away. Im german and think that every soldier fought bravely for his country or whatever he believed in. Btw the french once took over whole germany and their rulership lead to the first german reich. Which was a major advance.
But since i comment under a video about the second world war all the nice "experts" will prove me wrong.

0:20 The Char B1 was a French heavy tank manufactured before World War II. The Char B1 was a specialised break-through vehicle, originally conceived as a self-propelled gun with a 75 mm howitzer in the hull; ... Wikipedia
Wars: World War II
Crew: 4
Designed: 1921-1934
Height: 2.79 m (9 ft 2 in)
Mass: 28 tonnes
Armour: 40 mm (Char B1); 60 mm (Char B1 bis)
Engine: Renault inline 6 cylinder 16.5 litre petrol engine; 272 hp
That Char B1 Bis is a beast! I'm German but I'm still happy that this happened and that that the French tank went on a rampage.
all i can say to you is : thank god it's not the other noticable story in stonne that involve a char b1 (riquewihr)
this is the story of the butcher of stonne, the tank in question destroyed a colonne of foot soldier and, after the carnage, entered the town with bloodied tracks .
luc dom but it was not the same? A guy called Bilotte? I was curious, I knew he destroyed several tanks. thanks
Leclercs, although not as armoured as the Leopard 2, can accurately track an enemy tank and fire with the primary turret whilst at full speed. This feature is incredibly hard to obtain on the tanks we have these days. The Churchill also makes it into the top 10 because of its reactive armour (a well guarded secret recipe by the brits). In terms of Air force, the French Armée de l'Air is superior in technology to both the Luftwaffe and the RAF, although this is mainly due to the Luftwaffe having post-war restrictions on what it can develop, and the RAF having a tight budget. A Rafale de Gualle can go head to head with an American or Russian jet and have a fair fight. Where as Germany primarily uses Eurofighter Tycoon 2s and Britain; Harriers (mk. 2?). France also has a bloody lot of Nuclear missiles, and Britain mainly has its warheads in subs, due to its lack of space on its island, Germany isn't even allowed to have Nuclear armaments, so France could probably kick half of Europe's ass right now. Not to mention they currently have more ships than the British in their navy (Britain only just finished their only carrier, with a second one on the way).

Poor French, they didn't have enough luck to battle for France.
On n'as jamais de chance english we dont have luck
It teach a lesson : living out of his time doesn't pay off
ça n'avait rien à voir avec la chance on était mal organisé et on a perdu c'est normal
on peut aussi remercier les british pour nous avoir abandonnés au moment où ils pouvaient se rendre utile.
et malgré cette couardise de leur part, les français ont tenu durant plusieurs jours à Dunkerque pour assurer le repli des troupes britanniques sur leur île.
cette résistance, retarda considérablement l'avancée des forces allemandes,et lui fit perdre 50% de son aviation.
ajoutons aussi que l'opération dynamo prévoyait la sauvegarde de quelques dizaines de milliers d'hommes.
ce sont 198 milles hommes britanniques qui ont put revenir saint et sauf en Grande-Bretagne.
this war was totaly anticipated, this is not the problem, SHE WAS FULLY ANTICIPATED, our strategy was good, but our HQ was over confident. They didn't protect enough the ardennes and they didn't leave troops in reserve. The two big errors of the battle of France. Our army and Equipment was higly better, but it is not the problem.
2:09, that panzer got rekt
😉👍Very greatly and very Fabulously and awesomely well done in every detail way shape and format provided, A job very spectaculary well done indeed Sir's!👌.
face it. Historically the B1 was the impenetrable house sized mass of FUCK YOU we've always dreamed of. Wargaming just hates the French. Either buff it or knock it down a tier. it deserves more glory either way.
Jamison Leonard it's missing the big gun in wot
the 75 was an infantry support weapon. the 47mm was sufficient against German armor at the time.
But the 75 would still be useful for close calls and some better armored tanks.
Yeah, but the B1 was technologically complex and used up too much fuel. It was also pretty slow, as well. It fared well enough in tactical, head-to-head confrontations but was strategically useless against the German blitzkrieg campaigns.
now imagine this baby with radio system and a better logistic behind it... they would have steamrolled the german.
Pretty sure this is where the inspiration for the Leeman Russ came from.
Hell yeah, It's in good company too.
130 Anti-tank rounds and 13 PzII and PzIII couldn't stop the beast. Hence why the Leman Russ was named after the Primarch Leman Russ.

Love you french rifle men. Like this if you think the french tank was a bad ass
this is really sick i do enjoy his vids
AWESOME CREATION!!!
Kinda sad that you have to watch Lego movies to get an idea of the French commitment. We fucked them in the long run but they sure as hell knew how to put up a fight till we reached Paris. Politics aside, it seems the only reason the French had to surrender in the long run is because their government fucked up. If French politics were behind their soldiers just as much as their German contemporaries, things might have gone different.
Anyway, thank fuck this shit is over. I enjoy my Europe where I can eat a baguette with Nutella while listening to BBC1 without occupying the entire continent. Friendship is stronger in the long run.
you're da real mvp !
I always knew the French were brave in WW2, I knew about their commitment throughout the war, certainly one of the more stronger countries who kicked the shit out of the Nazis. I respect both France and its military might.
+5upreme Really, the major reasons why the French lost was because the command structure was shit and politics. Their military, in terms of equipment and training, were top notch in Europe.
Combat Commie I knew it!! History books bullshit France's military during the second world war era too much. That's why they're one of the more better military powers in Europe/the world imo. Kind of unfortunate France doesn't get the respect they deserve.

Great film
As always BADASS!!!
Great Video. Only thing is that the Char1B's main turret housed a 37mm gun that had little effect on the frontal armor of the Panzer III and above. The hull 75mm gun, however...
i know right it kind of triggered me when i found out
No it's 47mm and it's the main antitank gun of the ensemble. The 75mm was a beast, but a lower velocity howitzer. Not so good for piercing armor.
Kissamies but. The effects caused by a heavy he shell like that on a "weak" pzIII/IV are massive.
nope: the turet canon from the B1b was a 47mm, who was able to destroy ALL german tanks of 1939/40, was the germans who use 37mm
@@Kissamiess true, the 75 "casemate" was more think to destroy light bunkers, infantry, light armored vehicules, but...was still able to fire high velocity shells in the Maginot line version...in Stonne did the B1b "Eure" destroy a PZW III with the 75mm...
