Default PS. Is there any list of the German tanks and other vehicles destroyed/captured by th

There is a rough count of AFV’s destroyed in and around St-Lambert, contained in the unit history of the SAR by Donald Graves (p.173)

“One Panther tank was still on the Dives Bridge where it had been hit, while another had been pushed off the bridge into the ditch. There were two knocked-out Panthers near the Mairie and a Tiger with its turret blown off on the main street and another at the southern crossroads hit by the 103rd Battery gunners. Across the river in the orchards and farm fields there were more than a dozen knocked-out German tanks or SPGs and three more were found in the north end of the village. Burned out trucks, halftracks and armoured cars littered the streets and lanes of St. Lambert and the area around it.”
