When I quoted Ritgen, who was in charge of maintenance and repair, he was including both destroyed and damaged vehicles. A vehicle which is damaged to the degree that it can't be used in combat is no good to the combat troops. It may take one day or a month to repair before it is returned to the fighting troops. He includes both the Sd Kfz 251 and 250 APC and tractors which towed artillery pieces and anti-tank guns.
