A great many more tanks were damaged, either by fire or due to mechanical breakdown. This is illustrated by the work of the repair services of the battalion. Between 27 and 31 January eight tanks were repaired. This work was intensified between 1 and 11 February, when no less than 57 Panthers were repaired. From 12 to 20 January another 40 were repaired. Obviously tanks went in and out of the workshops quite frequently.276

The regiment arrived at XXXXVII. Pz.Korps on 1 February and was directed to cooperate with the 11. Pz.Div.281 It seems that its I. Abt. was missing, but the 21. Bttr. (Pz.Werfer) was present.282 On 5 February it was decided to send the regiment to Kampfgruppe Haack. By this time the I. Abt. was included in the regiment.283
The regiment arrived in February to support III Pz.Korps relief attempt. The I. and II. Abt. each had eighteen 15 cm rocket launchers each on 3 February, when the regiment was subordinated to III. Pz.Korps. The regiment had only two battalions present.284
The II./Art.Rgt. 62 battalion was subordinated to VII. Korps at the beginning of the battle. It was equipped with 10 cm guns. On 3 February the II./Art.Rgt. 62 had six 10 cm guns available. By then, the battalion was subordinated to III. Pz.Korps.285

Late on 24 January, this battalion was ordered to leave the Großdeutschland division, which it was temporarily subordinated to, and assemble at Kapitanovka to be subordinated to XI Korps.298 It seems this was not done immediately, since on 26 January 1944, it was ordered to transfer from LII. A.K. to XXXXVII. Pz.Korps.299 It arrived at XXXXVII. Pz.Korps late on 27 January.300 The battalion had two 15 cm howitzer batteries and one 10 cm gun battery.
