| Subject: | Re: Zimmerite on Tiger: An Absolute? |  |
| Date: | Nov 25, 2003 |
| From: | Andrew Herbert | |
The order to add zimmerit was given in the summer of 1943. Production of the Tiger I late started after this date, and ended before the Sept. 1944 halt to the use of zimmerit.
So all steel wheeled Tiger I should/would have had zimmerit.
And it didn't wear off in great big sheets. There would be worn/repaired patches possible. But basically a late Tiger has zimmerit. I have a few Tiger references, and there's zim on all the steel wheeled Tigers in the pictures I've seen.
Hey, adding zimmerit is fun!
Get that putty ready!
Cheers
