 | | Road blockades of felled timber and huge stone impediments slowed the German advance, and temporarily put the Panzers at a disadvantage, but were usually overcome by a combination of infantry and assault-engineer elements working in front and alongside of the advance units to neutralize such hazards. |
 | | The forces arrayed against the Germans employed the Boys anti-tank rifle, as well as the French 25mm Hotchkiss anti-tank gun, both of which were easily capable of penetrating the armor of the Neubaufahrzeug Pz.VI (see below), as well as that of the lightly armored Pz.I & Pz.II types. |
 | | Units employing the Pz.II found that the use of the 2cm sprenggranaten (high-explosive) round fired from their 2cm Kw.K main-gun especially useful in clearing infantry held roadblocks. |
