He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

Zimmerit was a paste-like coating used on mid- and late-war German armored fighting vehicles during World War II. It was used to produce a hard layer covering the metal armor of the vehicle, providing enough separation that magnetically attached anti-tank mines would fail to stick to the vehicle, although Germany was the only country to use magnetic anti-tank mines in numbers. Zimmerit was often left off late-war vehicles due to the unfounded concern that it could catch fire when hit.[1] It was developed by the German company Chemische Werke Zimmer & Co

Yes I would like a cartridge would be good.
They were a cramped vehicle especially for the driver and whilst a low profile easy to hide & hard to hit was a bonus the lack of a turret made it hard to track a target but in the TD role firing from cover the HV 75mm gun was lethal against the allied tanks.
