For those of you interested, or who may not have seen this, a new article titled :Citadel, Prokhorovka and Kharkov: The armoured losses of the II SS Panzer Korps Sonderverbände during the battle of Kursk, July-August 1943

has been printed in the Journal of Intelligence History.

This article published in an academic journal will only be free for a limited time (along with the author's previous 2 articles related to this topic).

TLDR: a revision of German tank losses during the Kursk battles in the southern portion of the sailent. (author of the paper (Wheatley) believes that the information provided by this study will cause a major shift in the historiography of Kursk.)

Besides its main thesis, I found the following bits interesting, among other things, on how the stockpiling of spare parts for a major offensive (and their subsequent depletion) can affect tank repair rates at the front; even the concept of "permanent total loss" was not necessarily accurate in the reporting ; and that an engineer(presumably a higher echelon one) was the only one who had the authority to declare a tank a "permanent total loss" (totalausfalle, [TF]).
