Degsy Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 The majority of British vehicles used by the Axis were left behind during the evacuation from Dunkirk. (Britain had approx. 85,000 vehicles including M/Cs at the outbreak of war, most went to France with the BEF, about 5,000 came back.) During the Desert campaign in N. Africa, due to the ebb and flow of the battles vehicles changed hands frequently and both sides used each others vehicles, the British even used captured Italian tanks.
