The claim is for Stug.Abt 667 and is in a report dated 14.11.43.
By June 1944 they were claiming a total of 20,000 enemy tanks destroyed by Artillery (towed/SPG) and 15,000 of those by Stug. From Jan-May 1944 2031 tanks were claimed destroyed for the loss of 436 Stug.
The June claim was 245 tanks
July 1019
August 847.
So 4142 claimed tanks in the East in 8 months.
18261 for Stug. in the period 22/6/41 to 8/44.
Remember it is the work of the propaganda boys!
