In 1942 were Char B1 Bis of Panzerabteilung 213. These were a much better tank being of much more modern construction and armament. For Panzerabteilung 213 this was to be somewhat academic as they were the only German panzer group to never see action during the war A total of thirty-six Char B1 bis of various different versions were sent to Guernsey and Jersey. Four command tanks, twenty-four normal tanks, and ten of the flamethrower equipped tanks. These were split evenly between the two islands.
