German Luftwaffe Brandbombe 1 Kg B1E Incendiary Bomb, Hard To Find G Dated For 1935, Totally Empty And Inert.

Terrible thing to throw against the cities, very "famous" German weapon, only possible to find today if it failed to burning then. The fin on this one was painted grey instead the normal Feldgrau, first time I see this.
"The type used in the Battle of Britain was the B1El, a 1kg bomblet known as the brandbombe, 1kg Elektron, hence B1El. The consisted of a cylinder of Magnesium Alloy, (Elektron), with an incendiary filling of Thermite. These weapons, which burnt with a heat sufficient to melt steel, were ignited by a small percussion charge in the nose which fired on impact.
In an attempt to make these weapons even more effective, and to defeat the fire-fighters efforts, the Germans introduced explosive charges into the nose or tail of some incendiary bombs. The charge was initiated either by the heat of combustion, or by a more complicated device that incorporated a delay of about 7 minutes. The various versions of this bomb included the letter Z in their designation, indicating explosive charge. Thus the standard B1El incendiary bomb fitted with an explosive charge detonated by heat was designated B1EL ZA, and that detonated by a delay B1El ZB."
