Prior to the invasion of France by Germany in 1940, one Renault D2 (serial number 2002) was converted into a prototype flamethrower tank. The tank was stripped of its turret and a box superstructure was fitted in its place - a tank with a 2,000 litre supply of incendiary agent. Test firings were carried out using water, when the range was 100 meters, when using a higher density fuse it was 40-50 meters.
Tank with interior.
