8. The Crocodile
This ‘Crocodile’ flamethrower was a Churchill tank converted and fitted with a flame gun in replacement to the normal bow Besa machine gun. It featured a 9-ton armored trailer carrying fuel that was sufficient enough to fire about 100 one-second shots at a maximum range of about 120 yards. That distance corresponds to approximately 110 meters. It was equally effective as an assault weapon as it was a psychological weapon and was used all through the process of liberating Northwest Europe.
