Re: SCHURZEN AND TRACK ARMOUR...........
Thank you Herman, as Mick says Very interesting especially the piece about track links not only not protecting the tank but actually decreasing the vehicles armoured effectiveness.
I think I am about to upset someone 

Re: SCHURZEN AND TRACK ARMOUR...........
In my best German/English accent: I want to add my thanks as well, Herr Bix. A very interesting and informative piece of useful information. As I am building a Stug III, with thin plate Schurzen, I believe that I will be in strict accordance with Whermacht Orders. My Stug III, is to be sent to the Western Front, circa mid 1944 Normandy.

What an excellent find Herman. The use of spaced armour and schurzen always fascinated me, especially when I started to build scale models. Interesting find sir
