EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, dated 1942, showcases the intricacies of the new German explosive incendiary bomb, a weapon used extensively during World War II. The image provides a detailed look at the enemy's advanced technology, with explanatory drawings illustrating the bomb's construction and inner workings. The incendiary bomb, a devastating tool of destruction, was designed to start fires and cause extensive damage to buildings and other structures. The bomb's body is cylindrical in shape, with a detonating cord attached to a fuze mechanism. Once the bomb is dropped, the fuze is triggered, igniting the explosive charge, which in turn ignites the incendiary material. The drawing also highlights the importance of proper methods in tackling such bombs. Firefighters are shown using hoses and hosepipes to extinguish the fires caused by the incendiary devices. The water is crucial in cooling down the burning debris and preventing the spread of the fire. This photograph print serves as a reminder of the technological advancements and innovations during wartime, as well as the bravery and quick thinking required of those on the frontlines. The image is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the tactics and weapons used during the 2nd World War.
