Flammenwerfer auf Pz.Kpfw. I Ausf. A

poľná úprava na plameňometný tank
The machine was built in 1941 in the field workshops of the German Afrikakorps. Instead of the right machine gun, the Tornister Flammenwerfer 40 infantry flamethrower was used with a magazine inside the fighting compartment allowing 8 one-second shots at a distance of about 25 m.

Hi, let me add a little that PzKpf I ausf A was used in May 1941 during the siege of Tobruk. When using one 10-12 second "shot", the range of the flamethrower was said to be up to 50 meters.

Well, if a portable (tornister) was really used Flammenwerfer 40 klein, then the distance of 50m is greatly elevated, "range" of this weapon was 25 - 30m. Either another weapon was used or the "range" was smaller. in the German army there was also a flamethrower on a trailer (Flammenwerfer anhenger) which had a "range" of 40m, which would rather correspond to the distance. but what was used here is a question.

I see that you can't believe everything, even if it's published on paper. I searched a bit on the net and found the classic "R15" range is 25 meters otherwise the other info agrees.

On this page I was quite surprised by some types in flamethrower design. For example Panzerkampfwagen B2 (f) (Flamm) or Flammpanzer 38 (t) Hetzer. Unfortunately, the site is in German, which I do not speak.
