The following Questions are not answered fully:

lb Tank strength within Feldheer, listed by theater , .

2b Tank losses an d replacement fo r Polish, Norwegian,

French, etc, campaigns,

2c Breakdown of losses by causative agents~ The topic

leader states that he cannot answer these questions

more fully,

No information at all is given on th e bases used in

predict ing tank losses (question 2d) and th e answer to

question 2e (guidance furnished tank producers...) is so

vague that it can hardly be called an answer at all.

The Pak on a self-.propelled mount (Pak/Sfl) is simply an antitank

gun mounted on a tank carriage and is lightly armored in front and.

on the sides. It is open on top.The Pak/Sfl

is an emergency weapon

to compensate temporarily for th e lack of production of assault guns

and Jagdpanzers.

Obsolete tank models, which can no longer be employed at th e front,

are specifically designated as such in Appendix 1.

They were normally used in the Replacement Army; by occupat ion

troops and in the protection of troops against partisans, The carriages

of some of these tanks which had no t been removed comletely from Army

inventories were rebuilt sa PekfSf1 or Jagdpanzers.

3. TANK LOSSES AND I fLACBMirT

a, In principle th e repairing of tanks was carried out as close

to the front as possible, The repair services accompanied the troops

to the combat area, as far as enem~y fire permitted.. TLhe motor officers

of th e tank battalions accompanied th e repair services to th e combat

area and directed their employment there. In this manner these officers

were able personally to survey losses and damages.

Daiaged tanks which could not be repaired with th e means available

to th e field forces were collected by recovery vehicles and turned

over to th e repair companies of the tank regiments or to other repair

services. In th e evening, battalions or regiments were informed as

to the number of tanks ready for action, the number in need of minor

repairs, th e number in need of major repairs an d total losses. These

at the Army High Command, who in turn, submitted them to interested

agencies in th e Army High Command fo r further evaluation~

b0 Total losses are compiled in Appendix 2 and are broken

down by month an d according to tank types beginning with May 1941,

These losses comprise all losses at the front,. regardless of

whether they occurred in combat through enemy action, were occasioned

by vehicles, falling into enemy hands in damaged or undamaged condit

ion or were the result of "canibalization". of damaged vehicles to

make others fully serviceable,*

Temporary losses (damages) are not considered in Appendix 2.

During th e latter part of, th e War, 95 percent of damages were

repaired by the field forces, an d at least 95 percent of these within

the tank regiment , while only about 5 percent of the damages were

the long intervals betweenthe campaigns, so that, in the summer

of 1941, sufficient forces were at hand for th e difficult task ahead. ,

For production data see Appendix 3,

In spite of very low production of Pz Xpfw and Stu Gesch, it had

been possible to increase the number of tank divisions from ten to

twenty during th e period oaf twelve months between th e end of the

French campaign and the beginning of the Russian campaign, Some

of the tank divisions, however, had only tw o battalions instead of

the customary four, Su.bseqyuently, they were to have been brought up

to full strength,

Aside from 4200 Pz Kpfw, at th e beginning of th e Russian campaign

there was as a result of this situation, practically no reserve avail.,

able . Monthly production amounted to only 260 Pz Kpfw, but it was

th e summer of 1941,1900 tanks up to th e end of October, were high

but could have been met by current production without difficulty

if two unexpected events had not complicated th e situation:

a. The fighting continued unabated during th e winter

months,

b, The superiority in armament of th e Russian T 34 tanks,

which appeared in ever-increasing numbers, neutralized th e lightly

armed German tank models on th e battleield, with th e result that

th e latter had to be withdrawn and replaced by new models equipped

with better cannon, (Of. Appendix 1),

In preparation of th e big summer offensive. f 1942, in which the

majority of our tank units was to participate, tanks were withdrawn

from battle in spite of th e fact that doing so involved great risks.

campaign increased to 780 by 1 July 1942. These weapons didnot

increase the fighting power of the tank divisions, but that of the

infantry divisions. D~endices 5 and 6 show comparative production

and loss figures, The Pak/ Sf1 was introduced in the spring of 1942

to fill the production in the Armored Command. This was a, temporary

emergency solution, designed to increase antitank fighting power at

the front. If these vehicles are included in the estimate, a more

favorable picture develops, as shown by the following statistics:

The strength of the Pz Kpfw ready for action thus again decreas-

ed to 2500 during this period, The fact that, as a result of the

Stalingrad defeat, the initiative had passed to the enemy now also

became evident in the field of materiel, Only by conducting the War

on an economical basis would it have been possible in 1943 to regain

this initiative,* This, the German command, however, could not decide

to do,

The Stalingrad mistake was soon followed by another. The un-

successful summer offensive of 1943 at Orel-Kursk (Uitadele'"l),

with th e retreats following upon it after July 1943, was again very

costly in tank losses , This is shown in Appendix 2 ahd in th e graphic

chats in bend~es 4 and 5,j

Due to the fact that Hitler continuously ordered activation of



MS : p-059

the increase in materiel was counterbalanced by a decrease in train-

ed personnel , so that th e fighting power of these forces was no

longer commensurate with th e number of tanks available. A steady

increase in losses was the result. The high losses in tanks suffered

during the battles after th e invasion of France an d during th e retreats

in Russia could be met to a certain extent by increased production;

as illustrated by A endice - 3 and the graphic chart in Appendix 7.

Developments in th e field of assaul t guns an d Jagdpanzers were

more favorable, due to th e fact that their requirements in materiel

and' labor were considerably lower than those for tanks, so that it

was easier to increase production,

In conclusion, and judging by the course of events after 144, it

may be regarded as an established fact that although tanks were subject



organizational plans, filed a request with the General Army Office

fo r th e further development of th e tank arm, For th e purpose of establish-

ing a pattern, this request took into consideration a long period of

time (several years). The General Army Office in turn worked out

this reauest in detail and forwarded it to th e Army Ordnance Office,

In case it should be impossible fo r these three offices of the

Army High Command to attain a uniform conception, the Commander in

Chief of th e Army had to make the decision. The Army Ordnance Office

integrated th e resulting plan into its over-all armament plan, which

had to be approved by th e Wehrmacht High Command, Tnereafter th e

Ordnance Office had to insure that everything proceeded according to

plan±, The industrial output necessary to attain th e goal either

already existed or had to be created, During th e course of the

to twenty, beginning with the autumn of 1A940, led to a revision

of th e monthly production quota of 600 tanks. The result was a

demand to raise the monthly production quota o f tanks and assault

guns to 1250, This reqies ,in January, 1941, fulfi l lment of which

was dependent onthe

buildingof

new production centers, was opposed

by the Minister of Armaments, Todt, The latter regarded the demands

as exaggerated and impossible to satisfy by German industry, He

obtained an order from the Wehrmacht High Command, Keitel, which

prohibited.an increase over the old quota of 600, For the time

being, th e Army High Command was' satisfied with this decision and

oelieved that it would be able to conduct the campaign against Russia

without the increase, The considerations which motivated this attitude

have been mentioned above,

Office von Speer, Minister of Armaments, in July 1942, Hitler

finally was compelled to make a decision, He now exceeded th e origin-

el. demand. made by the Army and ordered a monthly production of 1450

tanks and assault guns, The steps which were immediately taken

to increase production and to fill th e new quota began to show re-

sults in the spring of 1943, as shown in th e graphic charts in

A joences 5nd 60

In order to meet the reauested increases in production it was

necessary to coordinate production of a great many factories of

various kinds, especially as a large number of plants shared in

th e production of the following parts:
