Thank you again. One last question: are there any reasonable grounds for believing that any of the units fighting in the area at that time were equipped exclusively with either T-34s or Shermans?Art wrote:There are explicit records of T-34 tank losses in the 5 GTC war diary. For example, 11 Sept - 3 T-34 destroyed, 3 damaged. 12 Sept - 4 T-34 destroyed. 16 Sept - 2 T-34 destroyed, 3 damaged. War dairy of the 9 GMC is less specific, but is clear that there were losses of Shermans as well.

Hi guys,
Just get some information about 233 Tank Brigade/9 Gd MC during the fight 22-23 September,seems a fight report of this unit. You can check the records on 22-24 Sep on Page 10-11.

According to this report, the fight on 22 Sep(perhaps 22-23 Sep,can't be sure due to my reading ability)costs 233 Tank Brigade 5 dead, 17 wounded; 3 M4 tank burnt with another 2 damaged; 2 additional Mk9 damaged.
Regards.
