73 years ago, vehicles such as the M36B1 began being transferred to Italy's post-war forces. The M36B1 differed from others of the the M36 family with its hull taken from the M4A3 Sherman. The M36s in Italian service would be deactivated in the 1960s. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/E45OIUzXwAI9YHV.jpg
In November 1935, 87 years ago, the Hotchkiss H.39 appeared for the first time. The H.39 took part in the early stages of WWII - however as a pre-war tank, performance was poor. Cool fact: Despite having poor performance, upgraded H.39's took part in the 1948 War of Independence! http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FWRuzzuWQAM3zJ5.jpg
