A German B1E 1 KG Incendiary bomb.
The bomb consisted of a cylindrical body, made of magnesium alloy, filled with thermite, an incendiary compound, to which a three-finned steel tail was attached. The bomb was designed not explode, but on impact, the needle in the igniter was driven into a small percussion cap, which in turn ignited the thermite filling, and ultimately, the alloy casing itself, producing heat that was sufficient to melt steel.
Large quantities of incendiary bombs were dropped by the Luftwaffe during the 1940 - 41 bombing campaign on British towns and cities. The incendiary bomb proved to be one of the most effective weapons to be used by the German Air Force during the Blitz.
Circa September 1940
