Explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Billotte

On 16 May, while under heavy fire from German tanks, Billotte and his B1 Bis managed to break through the German defences and to destroy two German Panzer IV tanks, eleven Panzer III tanks and two enemy guns. Billotte's Char B1-Bis tank received 140 hits from enemy tanks and guns, but none were able to penetrate the tank's heavy armour.[1]

I wonder if his crew were sweating bullets at every impact, or if they were hopped up on adrenaline and felt as invincible as they apparently were.
