Rem. AMVAS: I didn't verify figures, as figures on the upper level could not be sum of those on lower levels

* - the number of SP guns is given in "()" brackets (AMVAS)

 

*1 - The 1446th SPGR reported only about the number of KIA.

*2 - On 24:00 July 12 the 31st TBde had 3 tanks operable. Command had no information about other tanks by that time.

*3 - No information about burnt tanks of this brigade. the number 36 was taken based on overall losses of the corps.

*4 - On 18:00

*5 - In original reports mentioned only killed and wounded.

*6 - The tank regiment of the 11th MBde lost (on 10:00 July 13) lost 11 vehicles. Division Burnt/damaged for this brigade is conventional

*7 - Including 7 T-34 + 4 T-70 which had different breakages on battelfield

*8 - The number of operable tanks available on 13:00 July 13 on the corps level can differ from those resulting figures for brigades' level because some tanks were repared at night.
