Variations in data from different sources have not been resolved. Mobile units are shown as front-line if they are combat ready. 1st Rumanian Armored Division is thus included in 3rd Army IV Corps. German armored units in refit and repairs were dispersed and not combat ready. They are shown and labled (14PZ, 22ndPz, 20Mot), but not included in front-line units. 62nd Army tanks were mostly immobile by this point in the battle.
