The most numerous and famous French armoured vehicle was the AMD-35. It was designed by the Panhard Company as a reconnaissance vehicle for the French army. Its serial production was launched in 1934, and it was designated as Panhard 178. These vehicles had a rear engine and all-wheel drive. Their main armament was a 25mm anti-tank gun. 551 vehicles were produced up to 1940. As part of the French Army cavalry units, Panhard 178 took part in combat in the spring of 1940. More than 200 vehicles were captured by the German army and, under the designation Pz.späh.204 (f), were used by the Wehrmacht and the Waffen SS.
