The African Continent was deemed 'Tropen'. Not entirely correct from a weatherman's perspective, but that's what they used.

Is there any evidence that the conditions in which the Germans fought in the 'tropen' zones had a deteriorating effect on ammunition??? I have read that the Libyan desert is so dry and arid that WW II artifacts are still being found remarkably preserved...
