    Towed flamethrower? Need help with pictures

    Hi,

    I would appreciate if anyone can identify and provide some pictures of some sort of towed flamethrower. It's not mounted on a tank. I do remember seeing some sort of flamethrower attached to armored car or personel carrier (sdkfz) on some pictures. Maybe it's the thing I'm looking for or maybe there are some other type of flamethrowers?

    And also other question from my friend - does anyone have pictures of a stretcher of german army, to carry wounded with? He misses tent but has other hardware and wants to restore it. He said there were once pictures available put too small.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi!
    I don't know if this is what you're referring to - this is the Mittlerer Flammenwerfer 35 which had a heavy fuel tank that needed towing on a trolley - I've also read that there was a larger version of this manufactured by the Germans.
    you are also right about flame throwers being mounted on vehicles - the Germans mounted two either side of a SdKfz 251 as one varient

      Think I've found it - it's a Flammenwerfer Anhanger which is described as Flamethrower mounted on two-wheeled trailer fitted Motopompa petrol engine.
      There is a picture of it on page 347 of the book Small Arms, Artillery and Special Weapons of the Third Reich by terry gander and peter chamberlain

        Thanks a lot for a quick answer! I'm not sure if this the one because I haven't seen it with my own eye but someone wanted to know. Thanks again!
        I hadn't seen such thing until this picture but I think is is what I was asked about.
