    The numbers from Redcoat can be found in Monty's memoirs and Normandy to the Baltic.
    Zetterling and Talmander in their book D-Day use German figures and state that 1600 plus change was sendt (including tanks already there) to Normandy. The battle against the Commonwealth and British had cost them 481 tanks up until 30th of July 1944.

    As for Assault guns and Tk Destroyers etc. I don't have the book in front of me just now.

    The book irks me since they portray the allies in a highly unfavourable way. It is almost cause to let the churchbells ring if an allied commander is able to tie his own shoes.

    They are also poor at giving proper stats for the allies (the US in particular) but there you are.
