Siegfried Gilais awaited reports on the second wave of the attack.

Gilais said, "Read it."

The captain immediately lifted the clipboard to his chest and began to recite, "This morning, our forces committed four armored battalions with a total of 160 Panzer IIIs and 65 Panzer IVs ready for combat; now we have 121 Panzer IIIs and 27 Panzer IVs in combat readiness."

Gilais did not speak; instead, the chief of staff was the first to exclaim in shock, "We lost over 70 tanks just in one morning?"
