received 752 casualties. Of these, 101 were killed. 258 soldiers were transported from the front because of sickness, mostly as a direct result of the adverse weather conditions. The 7th Armoured Division counted just over 400 casualties. The Desert Rats' losses in vehicles were rather light, with only 20 tanks knocked out by the enemy and a further 23 broken down due to mechanical problems. Of the knocked-out tanks 10 were damaged beyond repair. The number of German casualties was approximately 2,000.
