Re: WWI Tanks in WWII
The Germans used plenty of French tanks in Normandy.
I doubt it was a WW1 vintage tank though it may have been an FT-17 from a training unit as these would not show up on unit returns.
21st Panzer had large amounts of French kit, such as Somua and half-tracks. Not too mention their weird and wonderful SPG conversions. They also had Panzer IIIs and short barrelled MKIVs.
