Flammenwerfer 41
From Warlike
Q5457316
The Flammenwerfer 41, or FmW 41, was the standard German flamethrower beginning in 1941 and an upgraded version of the earlier Flammenwerfer 35, whose main issue was its excessive weight of 36 kg (79 lb), double that of the FmW 41 that was 18 kg (40 lb). It performed a similar role of other flamethrowers of the time, namely clearing enemy trenches and buildings in highly fortified areas. From 1942 to April 1945, 64,284 examples were produced. After 1945, flamethrowers steadily decreased in usage globally, with the Bundeswehr not using any.
