Overview[]
Zimmerit is a anti-magnetic coating developed by Germany during the Second World War.
Application of Zimmerit was took multiple days, requiring time to set. It was considered by some to be a wasteful effort, especially since vehicles were needed at their units.
The process was eventually discontinued from field and factory application, as there was concerns that projectiles could ignite it, which was proved false but the order was never rescinded. It also added days to the production of each vehicle, as it required to dry.
