I must honestly confess that since 1942 we always reported we had 15-20 percent less than our actual combat-ready strength available to be put into a c t i o n . . . . Any commanding general of any panzer division at that time was very happy if he could assemble 20 or 25 tanks. For that reason, as we well knew, if he reported we had 60 tanks, we were sure that on the next day, as we defended on our own front line 40 kilometers wide, we would have only 20 tanks because the high command would take them away to where the more critical points were
我得坦承自从1942年开始我们上报可用战车数量时总是少报15到20%.......因为那时如果能够集结20或者25辆可用的坦克,任何装甲师的指挥官都很高兴。因此,我们都很清楚如果上报我们有60辆坦克,那么在下一天我们将只能用20辆坦克防御40公里的前线,因为上级会将其他的坦克调取防守其他更加关键的地段。
