Foch
« on: January 25, 2025, 01:52:23 AM »
Thanks to Lyric1 for finding me the info for this skin.

This Sherman tank from the French 2ème Régiment de Cuirassiers was named after Marshal Foch, the French World War One general who rose to become Supreme Allied Commander in 1918 and who defeated the German Army's last great offensive of the war. This regiment was the first French tank unit to see action after D Day. It was part of the 1ère Division Blindée and came ashore on August 16th 1944 as part of Operation Dragoon, the invasion of Southern France and helped quickly capture the vital port of Marseilles.
