Well, hardly you can get figures of the Soviet casaulities. They simply had no oportunities to count them
As for tanks and other vehicles, really a large number of those were destroyed.
It was the 2nd Tank Division/3rd Mechanised Corps from the soviet side to defense in that area.
Data about its strength you can find on my page:

Some maps can be found here:

Hi, Art, thank for your help.

And I see about 16000 or 6000 pow taken by German in Novgorod area in page 98, did Soviet put up a fierce resistance in this area and resulted in so many pOW in this area ? I see other books always overlook about capture of city. Do u think 6000 or 16000 is correct ? thank

And why it did not show the Luga pocket with 20000 pow ? is it page 107 about 4774 pow is mean Luga pocket. (Luga sector from Aug 25 to Sept 9 ? thank
