In our second episode, journey with us as we delve into the groundbreaking Renault TSF, aptly named "Télégraphie sans fil" or "Wireless Telegraphy". Pioneering the fusion of armoured warfare with wireless communication, this remarkable vehicle was conceived with a singular vision: to bridge the communication gap between the frontline and headquarters, transforming the dynamics of battle strategies.
A special thank you to the Heritage Fund for their generous support in producing this video.

After helping with restorations of Renault and De Dion-Bouton vehicles, both pre WWI and post in the 1979's when I was just a lad, you have done a marvellous job. The bonnet on the tractor was a sure giveaway as to its heritage and I can remember seeing one of those tractors tootling around in a field in Picardie in the mid 80's when I was visiting my French side of the Family.

A mention near the beginning that "telegraphie sans fil" is French for "wireless telegraphy", now called radio, would've been appropriate.

Given the disastrous start on WW2, the TSF is a pleasant surprise. As I learn more, I'm impressed by WW1 France.

yeah, a lot of what france learned going into WWII, they had already learnt in late WWI tho also a lot was left unproven, as much of that was to be used in the 1919 offensive, which obviously never happened, and the post war era wasn't a time to try new military ideas so you fell back on what had been proven already by the time WWII was starting, france was moving towards even more radio distribution in it's units, but production failed to meet the demands on top of an already late start, and the most numerous tanks of the army, the light infantry tanks, weren't even designed with radio in mind so equipping them was ad-hoc, not to mention that the few radios that were out were prioritised to the DLM and DCr (the two types of large armoured units france had at the invasion of the low countries, with up to 4 of each being fielded) and only could realistically equip down to the company leader in most units early WWII france, a tale of relearning what was forgotten, and one of too few, too late

What is the relation with WW2 and this ? One defeat doesn't mean that they never did something right... or that they were innovative.

@quentintin1 8 ай бұрын

a little thing, there were actually 4 models of the FT, as there was also self propelled howitzer sorts that had a very limited production mounting a stubby 75mm howitzer (the same gun as in the schneider tank) to bring additional firepower on a specific sector, as an early self-propelled howitzer, sadly none are known to have survived to us as they seem to all have disappeared in the 1920s and unlike the TSF models weren't repurposed for defensive purposes or anything (all the TSF tank remains we have are tanks that were repurposed as defensive fortifications in the maginot line)

The last remaining few were destroyed in the 1940s as late as operation torch.

@@AmazingAce uh, last i read about them, the last mention of them was in Morocco around the Rif war but then they seemingly disappeared, no mention of them in service or reserves, like the TSF tanks

@quentintin1 there's a few photos of them knocked out or captured during the Fall of France and some seen by the Americans in 1942 during Operation Torch.
