Not very well researched on the subject of tank losses The 35+ 'total losses' attributed to 1st Hussars (6th Canadian Armoured Regiment) alone are in fact the days total of all tank casualties (and not total losses) for 2 Canadian Armoured Brigade. German losses are given as 2 total losses for the Panther Abteilung but no mention of the 6 Pz IV that were also total losses. No numbers are given for German tank casualties either. |
