Canada’s ‘NIGHTMARE’ Gift to the Germans: The Wasp Flamethrower (Universal Carrier)

Canada’s ‘Nightmare’ Gift to the Germans: The Wasp Flamethrower (Universal Carrier) explores one of the most overlooked Canadian weapons of World War II. Built on the humble Universal Carrier, the Wasp flamethrower became a terrifying close-assault weapon that shattered German bunkers and fortifications during the brutal fighting in Northwest Europe. From its origins in British flamethrower doctrine to Canada’s decisive role in refining the Wasp Mk IIC, this documentary reveals how fire became a tactical solution where bullets and artillery failed. During the Battle of the Scheldt, Canadian forces used the Wasp to clear flooded defenses, canal lines, and concrete strongpoints—helping unlock the vital port of Antwerp. Feared by German troops and barely remembered after the war, the Wasp represents Canada’s quiet but deadly wartime innovation. This is the story of the men who operated it, the terror it inspired, and why history nearly forgot one of Canada’s most effective weapons of WWII. #CanadaWWII #WaspFlamethrower #UniversalCarrier #canadianarmy #worldwar2history #wwiidocumentary #ww2history #Flamethrower #battleofthescheldt #militaryhistory #wwiitanks #canadianhistory #ww2
