Thanks, I had not seen such on He 111´s. Similar flametrowers was fitted and tested on Ju 88 A-4´s but had no practial use, it did not hamper fighters attack etc. -ed

At least some of this footage is from a KG27 video released by Walter Waiss about 15 years ago. I do not remember the Gruppe involved or any aircraft markings of the He-111. Will have to look in my archives
