Which is why you do not fuck with Finland.

This must be a prototype test of some sort, to my knowledge nothing like this was never taken into mass production. The picture was taken in 1947 at the Santahamina garrison in Helsinki.
A flamethrower machine gun seems like some ridiculous weapon from a video game, not something a serious army would actually field!
Don't fuck with the Finns, man. I'm telling you.
It can get chilly marching through the frozen tundra. The Finnish are so thoughtful. ☺️
I'm sure they were happy to warm up any shivering Soviets who happened to cross the border.
They even gave the Soviet tank crews bottles of vodka!
Hopefully this can get added to My Winter Car
Mmm roasted Nazi
Unfortunately, the Finns were co-belligerents with the Nazis, not enemies.
Oof, well my lack of war history is showing.
Sorry were fresh out of Nazi, can we interest you in some char-broiled Russian?
