Originally built for French Infantry as the H35, but rejected because of poor steering, the type was adopted by French Cavalry in 1936. The H39 was updated with a new engine and increased top speed. After the fall of France in 1940 the type saw service with the Axis forces and this example was captured from Panzer-Abteilung 211, German Army, in the summer of 1941.
It is on display in what is best known as Hall 5 of the Kubinka Tank Museum, although its official title is now Pavilion 5 in Area 2 of the Park Patriot museum.
