SECRET ANNEX FLAME-THROWING WEAPONS AND NAPALM-TYPE BOMBS SOVIET CAPABILITIES AND LIKELIHOOD OF SOVIET USE Flame-throwing Weapons Present Weapons The use of flame as a weapon of war has been on the increase ever since the Germans in World War I brought out an equipment to fire a jet of flaming petrol.
