Re: Photos 10-1
I agree, another set of great finds, thanks Ed.

But can anyone shed more light on that Hs 1234 aux tank arrangement?

Re: Photos 10-1
I guess it is an improvised fire bomb made by attaching two detonators to the tank, one facing aft and one forward.

Re: Photos 10-1
Thanks, but odd as it seems the tank is plumbed to the fuselage and firmly attached sway braces. Does not look like a tank meant to be dropped.

Or a Kamikaze 123!

According to Galland, they tested a sort of napalm bombing with standard fuel (not jellied) lit by small bombs in Spain.
