Three Hotchkiss H-39 light infantry tanks were bought for evaluation in France just before the war,
along with fifty Renault R-35.*

All three tanks were used in combat in an improvised half-company of Dubno Group, commanded by Lt. Jakubowski (along with four R-35 tanks).*
They fought both against Germans and the Soviets near Kamionka Strumilowa in late September 1939.*
