After 1 hour the whole western riverbank was heavily devastaed by the russian artillery while the river itself has filled with dead and wounded russian soldiers. KG Hausers lost a few men to shrapnel wounds and frostbite but the rest gotthrough this night unharmed.

The raid platoon returned to lines with valuable intelligence and some prisosners from the russian Divison commander.

In the morning snow started falling again extinguishing the fires started from the artillery and covering the fallen. Around midnight almost all traces of the attack were gone only the destroyed tanks were proof of the nights fighting and dying.
