In 1945, on the black volcanic sands of Iwo Jima, flamethrower operators were dying at 92% casualty rates. Every mission was suicide. Every approach meant certain death.
Then a 24-year-old Navy electrician — Joseph Kissle — built something no one believed was possible.
A flamethrower tank.
Not designed by generals.
Not engineered by scientists.
Built by a young Seabee with nothing but wiring tools, a deadline, and a determination to stop watching Marines burn alive.
In just five seconds, his invention destroyed enemy fortifications that took infantry two days to fail to capture.
In 36 days, his “Zippo tanks” wiped out 370 fortified positions, saved thousands of American lives, and forced the Japanese to issue a desperate order:
“Destroy the flame tanks at any cost.”
This is the unbelievable true story of:
🔥 A weapon the military tried to shut down
🔥 A frontline engineer who refused to quit
🔥 Battles where napalm changed everything
🔥 The moment Kissle fought inside a burning tank while wounded
🔥 How one electrician’s idea shaped warfare for the next 30 years
If you love untold WWII history, battlefield innovation, and stories of ordinary men who changed the world, this is a story you will never forget.
