At We Have Ways Festival 2022 I ran into friends from the Dunkirk 1940 Museum and they were displaying an interesting piece - a British 4lb Incendiary Bomb which had reportedly been dropped on Dresden in February 1945. Check out the museum's channel @Dunkirk-nu2oi and their website they have lots of interesting objects like this one: http://dunkirk1940.org/ Thank you to @RMMilitaryHistory for his camera work on this one and be sure to check out our accompanying article for this video here - https://armourersbench.com/2022/08/14/examining-an-incendiary-bomb-dropped-on-dresden/ If you enjoy our work please consider supporting us via Patreon, TAB is a viewer supported channel and any help is very much appreciated!
