If the Germans hadn't underestimated their Soviet foe they might not have been so arrogant and overconfident. German propaganda about their technology and their view of being the "master race" actually worked against them. They believed their own propaganda more than any of their opponents did. Underestimating your enemy is a very dangerous attitude. As an American I saw us make the same mistake regarding our VC and NVA opponents. NEVER underestimate your enemies! Soviet troops were BRAVE!!
@normison69 So flammable liquid bottle is a SOVIET anti-tank weapon. Everyone else just copied it and used it, the name Finns gave to it is stuck to this day aka Molotovs coctail, it doesnt still make it claim as their weapon.
>Actually... The "Molotov coctail" is not just petrol and bottle with a rag.
-It really is a cocktail of many materials and there is a distinct factory-brand -outlook with real Molotov cocktails.
Not only did Soviets NOT use the `Molotov cocktails´, they would most likely be slightly annoyed if someone would call their makeshift AT weapon as such.
-Call them incendiary devices if you want, those were not the real deal.

Molotov cocktail, which they introduce here as Soviet anti-tank weapon is utter lie.
Spanish Civil war saw th first usage of this weapon, but Finnish anti-tankers named it "Molotov's cocktail" and used them AGAINST Soviets.

@ArmaFennica there was no notation in this video claiming that the Soviets "invented" this weapon. All it claims is that they used it.

@ArmaFennica So? Soviets invented it as anti-tank weapon during spanish civl war, big deal if Finish only gave it its name, they did not invent it.
