of France in late 1942, some of the survivors situated in the Italian occupation zone were transferred to Italy. However, they didn't find any use there. On the contrary, the Germans ordered the completion of several unfinished aircraft after the Armistice. These were used as advanced trainers. Variants Bre 690.01 Bréguet 690 prototype. Bre 691.01 Bréguet 691 prototype. Bre 691 Two-seat twin-engine ground-attack aircraft. Bre 693.01 Bréguet 693 prototype. Bre 693 Two-seat twin-engine ground-attack aircraft. Bre 694.01 Prototype intended to be two or three-seat tactical reconnaissance aircraft. S 10 Swedish reconnaissance variant of the export Bre 694. Would have had Swedish equipment and armament. 12 ordered but cancelled due to the war. Bre 695.01 Bre 695 prototype. Bre 695A conversion of a Bre 693, was not particularly successful, the larger, heavier and higher-drag Pratt & Whitney R-1535 Twin Wasp Junior engines reducing visibility and providing only a minor performance improvement at lower altitudes. Only a few 695s were operationally used before the armistice. Bre 696.01A two-seat light bomber prototype, which was first ordered and then cancelled in favour of the Bre 693. Bre 697Intended as a pre-prototype for the Bréguet 700 C2 heavy fighter. Powered by Gnome-Rhône 14N-48/Gnome-Rhône 14N-49 engines which offered 50% more power than the 14M, the Bre 697 prototype displayed a sensational rate of climb, and was as fast as a Bf 109E. The Bre 700 was expected to offer even higher speed and would have been very heavily armed.
