When bombing Helsinki russians used bombs containing vaseline(tangy) and white phosphorus(burns even soaked)with small amount steel-wool(keeping ingredients together increasing burning effect).Russian butter-original recipy. My father told this maybe 1968 or 1969.He was born in Helsinki 1923-fought 1940-44 as a commando 1.5 years behind lines and 2.5 in frontine in Syväri (russian Sver)that is river near Leningrad/St.Petersburg. Bread baskets first then iron-bread with butter but to be polite cocktails also were served for our uninvited guests.These made first attacking tanks baking owens.Well done beef .Some stock were also frozen in Salla,Kollaa,Suomusalmi,Raate. No hard feelings.Bad boys-Rasputin-Lenin-Stalin-Skrjabin(=Molotov-"small hammer")-Jeltsin-Putin-who next ? "Bad boys-bad boys-What You gonna do when the bad boys are gonna come for You" Just belive nice promises like Neville The Naive or jus watch like Sir Winston ?

Finns went on to name their mass-produced incendiaries "Molotov cocktails" as a drink to go with the food.

Oh, that wouldn't help, and explains why some of these oddly unheard of military breakthroughs are thought by readers today to have bombed.
