The Pipework section from German assault pioneers [Flammenwerfer 35] flame thrower model 1935 used by soldiers of the 1st Panzer Division.The pipework section was recovered from near the village of Floring North of Sedan from the battlefield of the 12th-17th May 1940 during battle of Sedan during the German invasion of France. The relic comes with 3x A5 laminated information cards with photos,diagram and map.

    The flammenwerfer 35 weighed 35.8 kilograms (79 lb) and held 11.8 litres (2.6 imp gal; 3.1 US gal) of flaming oil, (Flammöl 19), petrol mixed with tar to make it heavier and to give it better range. The Flammenwerfer 35 was produced until 1941, when the lighter, slightly redesigned Flammenwerfer 41 began replacing it.

    This flamethrower, like all flamethrowers employed by the Wehrmacht, was exclusively used by sturmpionieres (assault pioneers); specialist pioneers who were to assist the infantry in an assault, by overcoming natural and man-made obstacles for the infantry, clearing enemy fortifications with flamethrowers and then destroying them with demolition charges. The sturmpionieres that exclusively used these flamethrowers played an important part in overcoming French fortifications blocking the German advance during the battle of France. More specifically the battle of Sedan.
