Hey, guys, i was wondering where and when the germans used flamethrowers in world war two.

Also perhaps links to pictures of these flamethrowers would help.

thanks

what i understand of german flamethrowers, was that they were alot more common on the eastern (russian) front, and were used extensivly during the battle of kursk, although they could have been used in other places.
