15 cm sIG 33 (Sf) auf Panzerkampfwagen I Ausf B also known as Sturmpanzer I Bison of sIG Kompanie 705 (7. Panzer-Division) firing point-blank at Chateau Favelle in Hangest, France 5 June, 1940.

The defenders of Hangest were the 5eme Compagnie of the 44eme R.I.C. (a black colonial regiment) who held up at some points until all ammunition had been exhausted. The entire village was so badly damaged that virtually everything had to be rebuild after the war, a testimony to the intensity of the fight.
