Dressler Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Zimmerit was an anti-magnetic paste developed by the CW Zimmer company of Berlin that the Germans applied to most of the vertical areas of their tanks during WWII- at least from 1943 to Sept of 1944. Its intent was to defeat magnetic anti-tank mines by preventing them from sticking to the steel hull.

Dandelion Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 An interesting note is that the Germnas did this in light of their own development of magnetic mines. As a precaution one might say. In fact, the Soviet scale of use of such mines did not warrant Zimmerit in the first place. All the best Dandelion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
