EDITORS COMMENTS
or "What The Enemy Wanted; a diabolical German invention that the Allies had to adopt: jets of flaming liquid," is a captivating image from the First World War era, taken from the French publication "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924. This photograph captures a soldier, most likely French, operating a flamethrower on the battlefield. The ominous title of the image alludes to the German origins of this devastating weapon, which the Allies were forced to adopt in response to the enemy's innovative warfare tactics. The soldier's determined expression and the intense flames emanating from the device convey the harsh realities of the First World War and the relentless nature of the conflict. The flamethrower, a technological marvel of the time, was a terrifying weapon that could project a jet of burning liquid over long distances, engulfing enemies in a wall of flames. Its use on the battlefield brought a new dimension to the horrors of war, as it could inflict severe burns and panic among troops. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the brutal tactics employed during the First World War and the devastating impact of technological advancements on the battlefield. The photograph's title, "What The Enemy Wanted," highlights the importance of adaptation and innovation in warfare, as well as the unintended consequences of technological progress. The image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of soldiers during wartime, as they were forced to confront and adapt to the ever-evolving landscape of battle. Overall, this evocative image offers a glimpse into the past, shedding light on the complexities and challenges of the First World War and the human cost of conflict.
