Australian Flame Throwers Burn Men to Death
Death by flame thrower. Australian 7th Division attacking Balikpapan (Borneo, Indonesia) to secure oil fields, using intense firepower. British Pathe archives.

Re: Australian Flame Throwers Burn Men to Death
No joke. Nothing like ignited napalm to ruin your day. I understand that the Japanese made it a priority to take out the men and tank flamethrowers first. Now you can see why. |

Re: Australian Flame Throwers Burn Men to Death
Nice vintage footage!!! There is a reason why Geneva convention took the flamethrower out... I would certainly hate to be a victim of one!!! To have the first application of napalm not be enough, just to have more sprayed on you when you surface from your hiding... Good times!!! |
