Soviet claims according to Grigori F. Krivosheev: 42,700 tanks, tank destroyers, self-propelled guns and assault guns, 379,400 guns and mortars and 75,700 combat aircraft.[14] According to Heinz Guderian (supplied by Q.M.G of the General Staff of the Army): Total 33,324 tanks, assault guns, tank destroyers, self-propelled guns, armored personnel carriers and armored cars lost on the Eastern Front from 22/6/1941 until November 1944. Paul Winter, in Defeating Hitler, states ”these figures are undoubtedly too low”[15]

Around 67,429 tank and self-propelled guns, 87,329 half-track trucks; 36,703 half-track tractors; 21,880 half-track armoured personnel carriers destroyed or captured.

Was it rare to see a German tank in WW2?
This is a Western Front perception, the large absence of German armor totally. But it wasn’t as rare to see German tanks as many think, though not as commonly as you would East.

While it is true, that over 40,000 of the 49,000 tanks and SPGs Germany manufactured were deployed East, at any given time, over 100 Tiger I’s and/or Tiger II’s were active in the Western Front, and German tank losses exceeded 5,000 machines just in the American sector by the end of the conflict, and another over 2,500 in Commonwealth sectors to direct fire causes, contrasting 1,500 American, and over 3,000 Commonwealth direct losses respectively.

Both Schwere Panzerkompanie Hummel and Schwere Panzerabteilung (Funklenk) 301, were two German units who possessed Tiger tanks of both variants while maintaining constant contact with American lines from the Summer of 1944 until 1945, where the majority of their tanks were summarily lost in engagements and a smaller number to abandonments. As an American soldier in WW2, German tanks were a very real and constant threat, especially when you talk about some of the larger battles that occurred.

During the Battle of Arracourt, close to 260 German tanks were present in a very small area, and actually outnumbered the local American tanks. It was one of the largest armored battles in the West, which resulted in over 200 German tank losses and over a thousand German dead, for an American victory of only 40 armored losses, and several hundred dead. If you were an American soldier or gun operator in Arracourt, you probably saw entire units of German tanks on a daily basis, especially if you were in the thick of the fighting.

During the Battle of Caen, over 220 German tanks were amassed in and around the city to repel Commonwealth units advancing from the beach landings, to counter over 600 Allied tanks. When combining Caen with Goodwood and Charnwood, over 350 German tanks were eventually lost over the course of these battles as the Germans brought in reinforcements, for the loss of over 400 British/Canadian tanks. As a British or Canadian soldier active around Caen, chances were quite high that you would encounter active German tanks on a fairly regular basis. There were enough German tanks in Caen to match 1 tank for every 500 Commonwealth soldiers present, out of over 110,000 men.

During the Battle of the Bulge, the single largest and heaviest hitting German armored advance mustered in the entire war was thrown through the Ardennes into primarily American lines. Not even Kursk possessed the same hitting power, despite having 3 times the armored vehicles, sheerly because the Bulge was waged by elite veterans from the East and West and was primarily supported by entirely units of Panthers, Tigers, upgunned Panzer IVs and heavy SPGs. At the onset of the conflict, the Germans possessed enough Tiger II’s in the opening advances to match 20% tank-for-tank all US tanks and SPGs deployed along the front. By the end of the conflict, nearly 1000 German tanks were lost, in contrast to 500 American. This is in combination with the 4/1 exchange rate between American tank destroyers during the battle and German heavy tanks… favoring the Americans. And these tanks were not crewed by fools, they were in fact, the best tank crews and commanders the entire German military had left, most pulled from the East. They still lost.

As an American soldier in the Bulge who participated in significant frontline conflict, you would have likely been seeing large numbers of German tanks supported by mechanized columns and infantry on a daily basis. There were enough German tanks in the Bulge at its height to match 1 tank for every 714 American soldiers present, out of over 500,000 men.

Of course, tanks were of a higher density for both sides in the East per grouping of infantrymen than they were in the West (Kursk had about 1 tank per 333.3 men, while the Bulge had 1 tank per 666 men on average) -but to assume that German tanks were largely absent for the moments where it mattered in the West is a fairly inaccurate thing to believe.

People spend too much time thinking that the lesser degree of impact felt by the Western Allies from German tanks was due to their absence, when in reality, it had more to do with the fact that their capabilities, performance, and reputations have all largely proven to be myths. They were there, in significant numbers, and they still lost.
