This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

Germany has invaded France several times throughout history, with the most notable instances occurring during the following conflicts:
Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871): This was the first major instance of a unified Germany (under Prussian leadership) invading France. The German states, led by Otto von Bismarck, defeated France, leading to the capture of Paris and the establishment of the German Empire in 1871.
World War I (1914–1918): Germany invaded France in August 1914 as part of the Schlieffen Plan, aiming to quickly defeat France before turning east to fight Russia. German forces advanced through Belgium and into northern France, but the invasion stalled, leading to prolonged trench warfare on the Western Front.
World War II (1940): Germany invaded France again on May 10, 1940, during the Battle of France. Using blitzkrieg tactics, German forces bypassed the Maginot Line by going through the Ardennes and occupied Paris by June 14, 1940. This led to the fall of France and the establishment of the Vichy regime.
These are the most prominent and well-documented invasions by Germany into France. Earlier historical interactions (e.g., during the Napoleonic Wars or the Holy Roman Empire period) involved conflicts with Germanic states, but "Germany" as a unified nation-state didn’t exist until 1871, so those are typically not counted in the same context.
In total, since Germany’s unification in 1871, it has invaded France three times: 1870, 1914, and 1940.
