German bomb explosion SD 500

Recent 'photo of the  Daimler-built Schupo Sonderwagen.  This example is in the collection of the German Armour Museum, Munster.  Note the wide wheels but narrow, solid rubber tyres; two spare tyres are carried on the vehicle's right-hand side.  I have not managed to establish any further provenance for this particular armoured car - but it is most certainly an extremely rare survivor of its type.  Best regards, JR.

The last survivor ?

The original design of Molotov cocktail as it was used during the Winter War of 1939–1940. The bottle has storm matches instead of a rag for a fuse.
Many substances may be added to the basic Molotov cocktail to enhance its use as a weapon. These include:

Substances that will ignite by themselves when hitting the target, for example White phosphorus 
Substances that will help the liquid stick to the target, for example tar 
Acid will help the penetration of non-flammable surfaces 
Substances that will increase the explosive effect, for example gunpowder .
I'm not sure but I recall reading somewhere that using washingpowder as sticky agent was used in NI.
