The battle was hardly a draw. Given operational goals it was a failure for the Germans.

As to the manpower and equipment lost. The Germans couldn't afford it. The Red Army could.

Even the elite SS divisions did not tip the scales for Germany. No matter what reports or stories of tank aces killing x-number of enemy equipment, or advancing fast and deep. It was local events. The larger picture speaks for itself.
