Aha, Martin! Hmmm... not noting numbers... weakness, or strength? We can't say his numbers are wrong!!
Don't spend your whole day looking it up. I'd bet he claims around 90 Ferdinands were involved. That seesm to be the main line from many of the sources. That number seems to be the leading candidate- 90 or 91. Wihtout more sources coming out, we'll probably just have to make an educated guess based on the variety of sources available.

More good finds, Kai. Now I have even more to print out tonight!!

As far as armor goes, it seems like it may be possible that land mines caused more tank "kills" than any of the other weapons. Interesting- during the "largest armored battle" ever, during a fight where technically impressive tanks made up such large parts of the fighting- interesting that most of the kills possibly came from one of the least sophisticated weapons on the battlefield...

I'm still working on more stuff from Model's offensive on the northern front... more to come!
