This german "Molotov" was factory made of green glass, in the same size as a normal wine bottle. It was filled with an oil-petrol mixture and closed by a cork. The bottle had 2 cavities on the side which held 2 fuzes. So far I have seen 2 possible fuzes, the pull fuze for the stickgrenade and a plastic(rubber) fuze which had to be lit like a match. The fuzes were fixed with a paper tape around the middle of the bottle. After throwing, the bottle would break and the liquid mixture was ignited by the fuzes. Two sizes are known, see photo on the right. |
