There's also, not strictly speaking, any real evidence that we ever had a flamethrower team clear out a pillbox or bunker with their weapon at Omaha Beach on D-Day.
How they're tossing the grenade and the sort of dumb German that comes out of the bunker and all that business and the use of a flamethrower when that probably did not happen.
Sealing up caves, blowing up stuff, lots and lots of flamethrower usage, which turned out to be very important for this because a lot of the time you couldn't get the Japanese out any other way.
I had friends who were Japanese, and I kept thinking every time I pulled the trigger on a man or pushed a flamethrower down into a hole, what is this person's family going to say when he doesn't come back?
