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

However, the first news to arrive was the reorganization report for the forces involved in the first round of attacks.

A captain staff officer, holding the report, entered the division's map room, assembled from several armored command vehicles, and saluted Gilais, "Lieutenant General, the troops from the first attack round have been reformed."

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?"
