Were the crew for the flame projecting weapons such as the crocodile, wasp or even just the man portable ones chosen for their aptitude and willingness to do the job? Or were you just assigned to a weapon and told to get on with it? I would think there could be huge psychological implications in having to burn people alive even if they were the enemy maybe leading to reluctance to use it. Or maybe people were just tougher back then!

Thank you for the comprehensive answer you provided to my last question, David. I have another question concerning your thoughts on the use of camouflage paint schemes on tanks. I’m aware that at the start of WW2 a number nations used camouflage schemes and that the British developed specific schemes for the BEF and the war in North Africa. They then seemed to drop the use of camouflage paint schemes (in favour of a single colour) whilst other nations (such as Germany) continued to use them. My understanding is that British tanks only started using camouflage schemes again in the 1970’s and 1980’s, (again favouring a single colour scheme prior to this). I’m intrigued as to whether this was related more to the nature of warfare that the tanks faced (i.e. offensive or defensive) or whether it simply wasn’t needed as other forms of camouflage (such as scrim netting) were more effective?
