Sounds a bit like allied tanks firing phosphorus rounds at German armour.

My history teacher in 12th grade was in the German army and he told us they trained with those still back in the 60s.

Smoke grenades that make a very irritating/poison smoke, if thrown onto a tank it had a  chance of going inside the tank through the ventilation system, if that happens the crew can choose, die or open the tank hatches and run for it. Also the crew is completely blinded due to the smoke. A very close range and last resort anti tank weapon realy, but it did give you the chance to capture a tank fully intact.
There were all kinds of similar weapons.



Blinding bottle training with T-34, will spread some sticky goo on the drivers hatch and start burning blinding the rest of the tank.

It is a surprise to see that japanese people were once significantly behind when it comes to taking interesting photos with well-choosen perspectives.

more trains at war pls.



The Romney, Hythe and Dymnchurch Railway, a miniature railway on the South East Coast of England, had it's own armoured train which, believe it or not, claimed kills.

Apparently the railway confused German pilots due to it's small scale which lead them to misjudge their altitude (I don't know if this is true but it is certainly amusing).

Yep, it is true.  The German pilots would misjudge their altitude and thus make themselves rather easy targets to the gunners.

Italian Littorio-class Battleship 'Roma' exploding after the second Fritz X hit. One of the best-looking ships ever built.

The second Fritz X caused massive damage, it triggered an explosion in one of the magazines so powerful that one of the main turrets was blown away.
