The original B&W photos are from the Finnish Wartime Archive (S A Kuva). The 40th Panzer Battalion was armed with French tanks captured in 1940. The first two are Somuas, the last is an H-39 Hotchkiss.
I colorized them in an attempt to discover how they should be painted. Does the color look right?
What color scheme would you call this?
Would the paint scheme be any different than the same types of tanks used against the US Airborne in Normandy used?

I hadn't realized the captured French tanks got so far from home. Nice photos.
