I know this is question probably has an easy answer but, what is Zimmerit used for? I thought I heard somewhere it was an antimine system, but how? (As you can probably tell, I'm not really in to WWII German armor, though I am looking in to starting up as there are a number of cool looking kits out there).

It was anti-magnetic mine, that's why it is on flat surfaces, so the mine would not stick.
