The Panzerlage (tank status) below is the amalgamated reports of the army groups of 5 April 1945. Because of the deteriorating conditions in the last days of the war, some of the army groups only reported partially, or on different dates, which is noted under each group. The total for some vehicles is greater than the sum of the combat ready and short-term repair categories, the difference possibly representing vehicles in long-term repair.
