I suspect that the blockhouse photos are staged. The two photos of the same scene – in the same pose? - make me suspicious.
ORIGINAL: Kull

The "flame thrower" is interesting - more of a "gasoline thrower" from the look of things. The liquid stream is definitely not on fire. One wonders how it was supposed to work - maybe in tandem with a guy shooting tracer rounds at the impact site to start the fire, after the the area was thoroughly drenched?

I think the flamethrower is being used to spread fuel without igniting it. Some flamethrowers could do that. It looks like it may be adding fuel to a small existing fire – conveniently located next to a blockhouse.

Here is a photo of a Jap flamethrower firing ignited fuel.
