EDITORS COMMENTS
- What The Enemy Wanted; a diabolical German invention that the Allies had to adopt: flamethrowers. This evocative image is taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The photograph captures a group of soldiers in the midst of the First World War battlefield, with the ominous title "What The Enemy Wanted" written above. In the foreground, a soldier is seen operating a flamethrower, the flame projector's long hose extending towards the enemy lines. The intense heat and bright flames contrast sharply with the cold, muddy trench surroundings. Smoke rises from the background, indicating ongoing combat. The caption "une diabolique invention allemande que les Allies ont du adopter" - a diabolical German invention that the Allies had to adopt - highlights the strategic importance of this weapon during the war. The flamethrower, a terrifying and devastating weapon, was first used by the Germans in 1915, and the Allies soon followed suit. This invention brought a new dimension to the brutal and destructive nature of trench warfare. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the horrors and innovations of the First World War. The unknown creator masterfully captures the intensity and danger of the battlefield, leaving a lasting impression on the viewer. The image is a testament to the human capacity for both destruction and adaptation during times of conflict.
