I happened to find a fired one of these...
HAFLA DM 34
The Hafla DM 34 (Flammpatrone) is a German single-shot throw-away weapon designed to propel an incendiary smoke charge to a range of about 80 metres. The Hafla DM 34 has a calibre of 35 mm and fires a built-in charge containing red phosphorus, the charge igniting after travelling between 70 and 80 metres raining burning particles over an area 10 metres wide and 15 metres long.

DM34 Incendiary Hand-Thrower
This is a Halfa DM34 Incendiary Thrower sourced from Germany and issued to SOG teams as a trial. Pictures of this can be seen in Frank Greco's book Running Recon and it was called a "mini-flamethrower by those you used it and according to Ed Wolcoff wasn't considered that reliable. It was a 1-shot 40mm White Phosphorus grenade launcher and the tube is made of card board with a plastic trigger assembly.
