Cocktail molotov

[Tarbelin51]

Hello

During a search, we found this bottle down the hole.
The cap is always present and containing petrol.
To date this bottle, I said that all munitions were presented with this bottle of German ammunition of WWII.
Someone he know the name of this bottle, which for me is a molotov cocktail.
I found this picture on the net, and this is an exact copy of one I found
Diameter: 8cm
Height: 28cm
Loading: petrol
I seek the designation and documentation, and whether it is a bottle which was used exclusively incendiary.
Thank you all

Quite interesting. Finland tested a similar incendiary bottle in 1939-40. In groove on side of bottle was placed a stick of safety match compound. However heat from the match caused too early and unexpected breaking of bottle and this design was shortly abandoned. Afterwards they used just ordinary round bottles with match taped on side.
