An extremely rare bottle of Brandflasche 42, 0.5 liter. Most likely one of the first batches of bottles delivered to the Wehrmacht in the winter of 1941-42. Found in a bunker in an unopened box, with similar bottles and bags for fuses, in the Dukhovshchinsky district of the Smolensk region. The bottle is specific with a special neck. All the bottles in the box were the same, but from different manufacturers, which indicates unitarity and a certain specificity of their use. In the first versions, the incendiary fuse was attached to the neck using a piece of self-adhesive tape, like a medical plaster. The bottle still has remnants of the Flammöl Nr 19 mixture. Of all the bottles in the box, only four have survived. Today, such a bottle is unique and most likely, no other similar bottle has survived.
