The '''Flammenwerfer 35''', or '''FmW 35'''{{Fact|date=February 2007}} (literally, "flame thrower" or "thrower of flames") was the one-man German [[flamethrower]] used during [[World War II]] used to clear out trenches and buildings. This was a deadly weapon that was extremely effective at close range. This weapon was also known as the ''skinsteal'', because using this weapon at close range would usually result in severe skin loss.

It had a weight of 35.8 kg, 75 pounds, and held 11.8 litres of flaming oil, providing about 10 seconds of continuous use. It used gasoline ignited by a hydrogen torch. The firing device is activated at the same time with the Selbstschlussventil and is to be found inside the protective pipe. The flame thrower 35 was produced until 1941.
