THe British used armor export to study tank losses from July to December 1944. They have pretty good stats. Surprising how many tanks were abandoned and destroyed by their crews, probably ran out if fuel.

I'd suspect more than a few were brewed up by their crews when they began to hear Brit rocket-firing Typhoons and American P-47 *dicing* runs overhead.
