Entry: "Napalm", excerpt:
"Our mechanics also invented an initial version of the napalm bomb. In an additional reservoir filled with a mixture of petrol and sump oil, they showed a fire bomb and an antipersonnel device where the container burst on impact and ignited the liquid. A primitive process, certainly, but one that had considerable impact in terms of physical damage and effect on the morale.
Général Galland, Jusqu'au bout sur nos Messerschmitt, translated into French from the German by Max Roth, published by Robert Laffont, Paris, 1957, J’ai lu leur aventure collection, chap. 3, À la légion Condor, p. 56.
