Wechselapparat M1917

The Wechselapparat Wex M1917 was a lightweight modified version of the M.16. Since 1916, the German flamethrower troops upgraded then increasingly to the so-called "Wex", a one-man flamethrower of the next generation with an eye-catching annular tank for twelve liters fire oil. In the middle of the ring sat a spherical compressed air tank, with its contents either ten flame surges of 30 meters range or let three proposed of up to 100 meters. The ignition of the flame jet was carried out automatically with a small gas flame.The Wex saw effective use in 1917/18 and was the basis for a number of flamethrowers including the Model 40 German flamethrower and the Briitsh No. 2 Portable Flamethrower in WW2. After the first World War the Germans were supposed to destroy all their flamethrowers but the most were used by German Freikorps. Some of the Wex were used in Finland in the 1920s.
