The Flammenwerfer 35, or FmW 35[citation needed] (literally, "flames-thrower" or "thrower of flame") was a German flamethrower used during World War II to clear out trenches and buildings. This was a deadly weapon that was extremely effective at close range. This weapon was also known as the skinsteal, because using this weapon at close range would usually result in severe skin loss.
It had a weight of 35.8 kg and held 12 liters of fuel, providing about 10 seconds of use. It used gasoline ignited by a hydrogen torch.
