Hi Gabor, for your interest:

I believe it was posted on here earlier as part of a different thread, but here is a Russian-language forum with an excellent comparison of German victory claims in the northern sector during September-October 1944. You will be able to see that many of Kittel's claims appear to be well-substantiated:

Rall remains a bit more of an unknown quantity, so I am inclined to agree with Boris Ciglic
