The Somua S-35 was a French medium tank used during World War II. It was developed in 1934 and produced from 1936. The S-35 was armed with a 47 mm cannon and two 7.5 mm machine guns. It had armor that was thicker than most other tanks of its time and could reach speeds of up to 40 km/h. During the French campaign, the German army found the S-35 to be a very effective tank, which led to the German army using it after the conquest of France. The tank was also used by other countries, including Romania and Bulgaria. A total of about 430 Somua S-35s were produced.
