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?

Michi:
I don't really know, but I would expect them not to be painted. They wouldn't rust away anyway.

Two Inches of Felt:
Why wouldn't they rust?

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

frank xerox:
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....
