Hello,Art,regarding about the losses of 11GTB during 21-22 August,I find some records of 244 Gds Regiment.Art wrote:Tank losses of the 16 Tank corps are given in detail:
107 Tank Brigade lost ......So finally in 24 hours between the evening of 21 and 22 August 22-24 Soviet tanks and SP guns became irreparable losses. The German claim (42) is a usual exaggeration probably influenced by counting vehicles that were lost on the same battlefield in the previous days or counting damaged but repairable tanks/SP guns.

This is a hand-write record so it's extremely difficult for me to understand, but please note Page 6 which seemly metions "3 tanks from 11GTB,of which one NC, were set on fire". And it seems this losses was suffered before the evening attack on 21.08.
According to reports from БТ и МБ division of 8GA,between (18:00) 21.08-(18:00) 23.08, the quantity of "burned out" tanks of 11 GTB increased from 10 to 12, perhaps fire on those 2 tanks had been successful extinguished, or it's a simply delayed record.
Regards.
