I just stubled across a film about the D-Day landings…. A partiular Churchil Tank cought my eye. Did the Brits use Zimmerit, or what is the stuff on the turret sides? Does anyone know?

Cheers

Peter

Apparently it was tested post war but not adopted.

Wikipedia mentions "Appendix 'A' to 21 Army Group AFV Technical Report No. 26" as the source.
