That was late when I typed it up. It did capture or kill ten enemy for everyone of its own, however, and that's not a bad record.
I have seen the claims and they simply do not add up. I think part of the problem is the large bag of POW's taken in the collapse in 1945 is included.
If I remember correctly the claims made by 3rd Army for German tanks destroyed is at least twice the total that Germany had on the whole of the Western Front. Presumambly none of the other Allied Armies got any!
