I have a question about the western front in 1914- what if, in the race to the see, one or the other sides decided to use something that gave a napalm-like result.
Perhaps if the germans used it on the BEF they would have outflanked the french and taken paris?
or would they be able to use it against the maginot line bunkers?
Would the french have been willing to cover flanders and belgium with it to stop the german advance?
would the british generals have found it 'sporting' to turn the german infantry into bacon?
Regardless of who used it, i think the 'war will be over by christmas' would have have been right.
