WI: World War II Thermobaric Weapons

Delta Force

Banned
There were some experiments with thermobaric weapons in World War II, but they weren't fielded until the Cold War. Could they have been developed for use in World War II to enhance the combat capabilities of aircraft? How would thermobaric weapons fare in attack, anti-ship, and strategic bombing roles? Would thermobaric weapons enhance the lethality of firebombing attacks?

Do both sides have them? Yeah they'd be used in city attacks. If they're ready in 1942 and the Germans have them Stalingrad would be a bloody mess for the Soviets.
