If thats a bunker what is the best way to ensure its empty throw a phosphorus grenade in or a frag and wait for the results, be nasty if you ended up looking down the muzzle of the enemy in the hole.

I can't imagine what he'd be doing except to be looking into the entrance. Yes, a grenade is better but perhaps there's a reason not to. Still, he appears to be one that knows what he's doing, I'm not sure I'd cross him...finger on the trigger...

Perhaps this is the aftermath of throwing the prescribed grenade.

Our SOP was to throw two grenades simultaneously, after having let them cook for a count of three. One grenade, he might be able to pitch back. Giving any bunker or tunnel occupants a choice reduced the odds of that happening tremendously. Being on a tank made carrying a case of grenades convenient.

Or, giving him a HESH round for good measure...

Yep the latter would do the trick Jim or call up a flame thrower to rob them of air & cook'em. Did they implement the use of the flame throwing tanks in Korea or due to the topography find them not suitable or were they banned by the Geneva convention come to think of it they used Napalm same thing different delivery system anyway did they use the throwers in Korea. TIA

When I was young my Snr NCOs had gone on the flamethrower course as private soldiers. That would have been in the '60's. They were still around.
