British newspaper about how the finns destroyed Soviet tanks during the Winter War 1939-40.


Molotov Cocktail, got its name during the Winter War because the russian prime ministers name was... Molotov, it was however used already during the spanish civil war, maybe earlier. Due to the lack of proper anti-tank weapon during the Winter War Oy Alko Ab bottled 500 000 Molotov's Cocktail. The fuel could be wood alcohol or gasoline or both. Tar was necessary for the smoke and to give a better grip. Later on also "blinding bottles" were made, the bottles were filled with a kind of tarry liquid that made blinding smoke when it burned..


Finnish piled up charge, weighing 4-10 kg. Effective against tanks, bunkers, gun enplacements and so forth, but taking a quite strong and curageous soldier to throw them.
