True Left

Hitler did not use white phosphorus for offensive purposes. Hitler was against the use of chemical weapons in war. Hitler was a victim of mustard gas during the first World War, which almost blinded him.

The British Army introduced the first factory-built white phosphorus grenades in late 1916 during the First World War. During the war, white phosphorus mortar bombs, shells, rockets, and grenades were used extensively by American, Commonwealth, and, to a lesser extent, Japanese forces, in both smoke-generating and antipersonnel roles. The Royal Air Force based in Iraq also used white phosphorus bombs in Anbar Province during the Iraqi revolt of 1920.[5]

In the interwar years, the US Army trained using white phosphorus, by artillery shell and air bombardment.

In 1940, when the Nazi invasion of the British home islands seemed imminent, the phosphorus firm of Albright and Wilson suggested that the British government use a material similar to Fenian fire in several expedient incendiary weapons. The only one fielded was the Grenade, No. 76 or Special Incendiary Phosphorus grenade, which consisted of a glass bottle filled with a mixture similar to Fenian fire, plus some latex. It came in two versions, one with a red cap intended to be thrown by hand, and a slightly stronger bottle with a green cap, intended to be launched from the Northover projector (a crude 2.5-inch launcher using black powder as a propellant). These were improvised anti-tank weapons, hastily fielded in 1940 when the British were awaiting a potential German invasion after losing the bulk of their modern armaments in the Dunkirk evacuation.[citation needed]

Israel has used white phosphorus against civilians:

During the 2006 Israel–Lebanon conflict, Israel said that it had used phosphorus shells "against military targets in open ground" in south Lebanon. Israel said that its use of these munitions was permitted under international conventions.[22] However, President of Lebanon Émile Lahoud said that phosphorus shells were used against civilians.[23] The first Lebanese official complaint about the use of phosphorus came from Information Minister Ghazi Aridi.[24]

In its early statements regarding the Gaza War of 2008–2009, the Israeli military denied using WP entirely, saying "The IDF acts only in accordance with what is permitted by international law and does not use white phosphorus."[25] Numerous reports from human rights groups during the war indicated that WP shells were being used by Israeli forces in populated areas.[26][27][28]

On 5 January the Times reported that telltale smoke associated with white phosphorus had been seen in the vicinity of Israeli shelling. On 12 January it was reported that more than 50 patients in Nasser Hospital were being treated for phosphorus burns.[29]

On 15 January, the headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency in Gaza City was struck by submunitions from Israeli artillery shells, setting fire to pallets of relief materials and igniting several large fuel storage tanks. A UN spokesperson indicated that there were difficulties in extinguishing the fires, stating "You can't put it [white phosphorus] out with traditional methods such as fire extinguishers. You need sand but we do not have any sand in the compound."[30][31] Senior Israeli defense officials maintain that the shelling was in response to Israeli military personnel being fired upon by Hamas fighters who were in proximity to the UN headquarters, and was used for smoke.[32] The soldiers who ordered the attack were later reprimanded for violating the IDF rules of engagement.[33] The IDF further investigated improper use of WP in the conflict, particularly in one incident in which 20 WP shells were fired in a built-up area of Beit Lahiya.[34]

The Israeli government released a report in July 2009 that confirmed that the IDF used white phosphorus in both exploding munitions and smoke projectiles. The report argues that the use of these munitions was limited to unpopulated areas for marking and signalling and not as an anti-personnel weapon.[35] The Israeli government report further stated that smoke screening projectiles were the majority of the munitions containing white phosphorus employed by the IDF and that these were very effective in that role. The report states that at no time did IDF forces have the objective of inflicting any harm on the civilian population.[35]

The best way to stop barbarians is to become utterly ruthless yourself. Many here would probably argue that Hitler was not nearly ruthless enough....

Ukraine Says Russia Used White Phosphorus Bombs In Luhansk l Putin Using Hitler’s ‘Flaming Onion?’

As the war in Ukraine rages on, Kyiv has now accused Vladimir Putin's Russia of using white phosphorus bombs in Luhansk. Phosphorus bombs were reportedly favoured by Adolf Hitler during World War II and are not generally used on civilians. White phosphorus bombs were also referred to as “Willy Peter” during WWI & WWII. So what are white phosphorus bombs and what makes them deadly? Is Putin now resorting to chemical weapons to win the war in Ukraine? Watch this video for all the details.

Against Russia, Panzerfaust 3 became the mainstay of Ukraine in addition to NLAW and Javelin

In this video we will discuss one of the German anti-tank missiles, namely the Panzerfaust 3 which is used by Ukraine against Russian tanks.

The Panzerfaust 3 (asoured fist 3) is a modern single-use recoilless anti-tank weapon, designed and developed by Dynamit Nobel AG between 1978 and 1985, undergoing its first tests in 1986 and put into service by the Bundeswehr West German infantry in 1992.

The Panzerfaust 3 was originally designed to defeat the latest Soviet T-72 and T-80 main battle tanks. At the time of its introduction it was one of the highest-performance weapons of its class. Improved versions of the Panzerfaust 3 are still among the most capable anti-tank rocket launchers in the world.

The Panzerfaust 3 is known for its compact, lightweight design, which allows it to be fired by a single infantryman. Its ergonomics follow a pre-defined standard, and the controls, including its pistol grip, were designed to be easily handled from all positions.
