The Lyrics
By the end of WW2 the Germans were not only stealthing their U-boats against sonar but also starting to build stealth aircraft with the Horten Ho-IX (production Gotha Go-229). Although the materials used for both were adequate, anti-radar paint was needed for U-boats when operating on the surface. The Kriegsmarine developed a bituminous carbon-loaded dielectric paint called Schornsteinfeger (Chimney Sweep- 'cause it looked like soot) for use on the conning tower. The Luftwaffe then aquired some for use on the stealth fighter's engine inlets and wing leading edges. It worked by trapping the radar signal and dampening any return. The paint was never used in WW2 but led to the US "Ironball" anti-radar paint used on the U-2 after Powers was shot-down over the USSR.

Wonder if someone could duplicate this paint for use on cars.
I know that there have been some attempts at using primitive RAM for car bodies to scatter police radars and electronic countermeasures, so why not...???
