The SOMUA tank was also surpassed by German tanks, because of its numerous mechanical breakdowns or fuel shortages (as French Army Logistical Services were unable to follow the pace of German Panzerdivisionen), in spite of some successes, which only postponed the end of the battle:

In Holland, transfer between 2 gravel extraction sites:





Scania-Vabis LT 110 Super 6x4/2 tractor with dropside body (modified(*) NZG model) loaded with an unknown brand dragline bucket for crawler crane (NZG element) and towing a Scheuerle T 5041 L 2+2-line semi-trailer with extra-low bed (NZG model), carrying a 54.7 tonnes Weserhütte W180 lattice dragline (modified(*) NZG model) and a lattice boom extension (NZG element),





Note (*): normally towing a similar 3+3-line Scheuerle trailer, the Scania-Vabis tractor had its guiding poles glued (both broken as very fragile); the Weserhütte crane had its pulley lifting frame lowered for the transfer (by removing rear rivets), its right rear access ladder repaired (fragile) and its right access path glued again.

Regards.
