These fiery cocktails were first used by the. Loyalist defenders of Madrid in the Spanish civil war. They were used on a small scale in the Russo-Fihnish war. But Russia has ‘made them a‘ standard weapon for infantry as well as for . guerrillas.

Some of the cocktails are primitive, made of vodka bottles filled with benzine, with stoppers of cotton soaked in benzine. The stopper is lighted just before the bottle is thrown. : Yast numbers of these weapons, however, are now being produced in specially converted \ factories where there is a machine line and an ordinary botile capper puts in

Home-Made Tank Cocklail Used Effectively by Reds

‘By WALLACE CARROLL A United Press Staff Correspondent ; MOSCOW, Oct. 16.—The tank cocktail, a weapon so simple it may be made at home and even a boy can wield it, is being used with increasing success to check the drive of German armored forces on

One Russian infantry battalion is credited with destroying 100 tanks a month with cocktails. The effect of well aimed bottles is to fill the tank with blinding white smoke, and the burning liquid trickles through the slots to the clothes of the crew. The cocktail may put a motor out of action or explode a fuel tank. The bottles are being used also now against armored cars and fuel trucks. Infantrymen wait until a tank is

so close that its cannon and machine guns cannot be pointed down at them. They throw one bottle at the front part of the tank and two more at the rear, toward the motor.

Push it, force it through the toughest going. It will take all you can give. it and be ready for more, quicker than you can believe.
