Das Reich 7 July 1943 Combat Success Data

[Miles Krogfus]

Russian initial or amended documents concerning their own or enemy tank losses are somewhat lacking the specific detail as regards location, cause of loss etc. compared to German map/loss ones I post above (see post # 3) or this report from July 1943 of another German division:

Would you accept an interrnal STAVKA memo relating to a combat claim submitted by somebody else as being definitive evidence of Das Reich losses? I suspect not.

I would. Please post some.

You've been on this forum long enough to know the drill...

In the research sections of the forum, we ask the posters to be reasonably well-prepared, and not ask others for information which they could easily get for themselves. The purpose of these sections of the forum is to provide a place where historical matters can be intelligently discussed. It is not a research service.

I am not your research service.

If you are genuinely interested in evidence of that type, here's a good place to start. https://pamyat-naroda.ru/ Very easy. No cost and you don't have to budge a single inch from your current position infront of your PC.

To Miles Krogfus,

I received your PM and have tried to respond. Five times l've tried to send a response and on each occasion clicking the submit button takes me back to the site login page. Bizarre, l know. If/when the glitch goes, l'll send it.

Just letting you know l am not ignoring you.

It's a little incorrect, you must pay attention on technical reports.

II SS Panzer Korps documents. Page 1 from July11/12 gives the "Totalausfalle" (completely lost or write-offs) for July 5 to July 11: Das Reich with no Tigers written off. 2 SS Das Reich Tiger S24, damaged on July 7, was repaired and returned to combat with that division.

The photo was taken on July 10 when the tank was delivered for repair, according to Julius Hinrichsen. Only LAH & Tk. had Tigers losses from July 5 to 10 in the reports on HGr. Sud. The DR Tiger loss appeared in the July 15.
