Just an interesting story, to go with the subject...

When Easy Co. got back to england after their time in Normandy, they talked to the recruits about how the Germans would send one tank out in the open to get the enemy to reveal their position when they fired at the tank. There was a strange instance when a platoon of paratroopers was attacked by a stone wall by an old French tank captured by the Germans from WWI. The platoon engaged it with machine guns and M1 Garands and drove it off, only to receive mortar fire less than five mintues later.

I think the tank was a Renault, if not I have no idea what kind of tank it was. It was French though, and from WWI. Kinda weird, considering 50% of German tanks in Normandy were Panzerkampwagen IV medium and light tanks.
