[1] The 2. and 5. Panzer-Division had just returned from the Balkans and were pretty well used up — apparently most of the tanks were returned to the factories for overhaul.
[2] The strength reports of 15. Panzer-Division and the 5. leichte Division (mot) indicate gun tanks ready on 20.06.1941.
[3] Not counting the 15. Panzer-Division or the 5. leichte Division (mot)
