Unnecessary question I guess but the completist in me needs to ask.
Were schurzen painted on the inside?
I don’t mean camouflage, but dunkelgelb? Red oxide primer? “exit this way”?
Anyone know?
-
I don't really know, but I would expect them not to be painted. They wouldn't rust away anyway.
-
Why wouldn't they rust?

Why wouldn't they rust?
They would, but they wouldn't rust AWAY given that their thickness is a couple of millimetres at least.

Cheers lads - I know I’m overthinking this.
If they’re made in a tank factory then I can see them getting automatically sprayed with primer just because. But they’re essentially disposable bits of plate steel, no doubt made in a general workshop and mated with the tank later.
But then you give a squaddie a spray gun and tell him to paint that tank....

Hit up some people from the Imperial War Museum (on Facebook, etc.) - they might be able to answer this. See if you can pop a question over to Hillary Doyle?

Found a pic - Pz 3 M angled so you can see the first couple of feet of the inside of the far plate and it’s support struts - it’s dunkelgelb folks. On my phone so no pic but it’s dunkelgelb

Did anyone really expect Germans not to paint the bits you can’t see? ;)

Nailed it! :D
