| Sorry for the delay, but I was busy these past few days. On 28 August 1941, the situation of the R-2 tanks of the 1st Tank Regiment (1st Armored Division) was the following: - serviceable: 14 (only 10 on the front) - in need of 1 or 2 months of repairs: 18 - in need of 2 or 3 months of repairs: 19 - in need of 3 or 4 months of repairs: 32 - written off (destroyed): 15 After 28 August, the remaining R-2 company on the front wasn't engaged in action until 16 October, when Odessa was occupied and there were no more losses I believe. The 2nd Tank Regiment, which operated idependently, had the following situation on 20 August 1941: - burnt: 8 - damaged: 9 - destroyed: 8 - in need of repairs: 26 - serviceable: 19 I don't know why they made a distinction between 'burnt' and 'destroyed'. |

| During the September 1942 - February 1943 campaign, the 1st Tank Regiment lost: - 81 R-2 tanks - 10 T.3 tanks (Pz III) - 9 T.4 tanks (Pz IV) The majority of them were abandoned during the brakeout of the encirclement in November 1942, because they broke down or ran out of gas. Between September 1943 - May 1944, the 2nd Tank Battalion organized a tank battalion equipped with T-38 tanks (CKD LT vz 38 or better known as Pz 38(t) ), which operated in the Kuban and the Crimea. I don't know the exact combat losses. They amounted to at least 16 tanks destroyed and 19 abandoned at Sevastopol. The losses for the battles between 20-23 August 1944 in Moldavia amounted to 34 T.4 tanks and TAs (Stug IIIG) |

| Is the loss date and location on T-4 No. 122810 known? It has a white horizontal band painted arround the turret. Another similar tank was destroyed at the same time & location. Unfortunately, only parts of the registration number is visible: '3934'. Gen. Dénes |

| It wasn't in the 1942-43 campaign, when the T.4s had serial numbers smaller than 100,000, but in 1944. AFAIK there aren't detailed loss records for August 1944, because of the situation back then. |
