On 14-15 August 1943, 36 Tigers were on hand in the three companies.
The new Tiger battalion joined the Division at the front in mid August, but on 31 August the battalion commander, Major Gomille, was not happy with the workshop support and other services that were being provided to his unit. In a report written 31 August, he outlined the condition of the battalion.
The headquarters had 3 Tiger Command vehicles.
The reconnaissance platoon had 7 halftracks without weapons.
The 9th Company (formerly 13th Company of the Panzer Battalion GD) had no operational Tigers.
The 10th Company was complete, less one Tiger still in Germany.
The 11th Company had lost four Tigers and most of the maintenance groups equipment during a long road march.
The entire headquarters company was missing as well as the Workshop company (less one platoon), as well as all vehicles for the regimental staff.
The trains in which the new battalion had been transported had offloaded at Nisch Ssirowatka in the middle of August forcing the battalion to march over 110 kilometres to their positions two kilometres southeast of Jassenowole. Ten Tigers had fallen out of the march because of mechanical problems both large and small.
Despite the condition of the battalion, orders were to go into action near Belsk (30 kilometres southwest of Akhtyrka) the next morning, to stop Russian forces who had attacked across the Vorskla. The Tiger battalion had no supply or repair services, no Recovery Platoon (Bergezug) and no spare parts for repairs. Elements of the battalion Reconnaissance Platoon scouted the terrain on the night of 14 August, and the battalion left their assembly areas at 1830 hours, ordered to hold Grun. But Grun had been taken by the enemy, who was reconnoitering northwards. The Battalion moved to Persche Trawnja, five kilometres northwest of Grun, and prepared to attack as ordered on the 15th.
The Tiger battalion joined a Kampfgruppe along with a company of Panther tanks, reconnaissance troops and assault guns from the GD Division. At 0630 hours, with the Tigers in the lead, the group set off for Grun, ordered to break through to Belsk and destroy the enemy that had broken through. One kilometre north of Grun, the battalion received heavy anti tank fire from a ridge east of the north side of the village, and the leading Tiger struck a mine, though only superficial damage was caused. The battalion was ordered to attack, turned left, and moved onto the ridge line, finding two deep ravines across their path of advance. The 10th Company stopped to provide covering fire while 11 Company pressed the attack over both ravines, receiving fire from anti tank guns and self propelled guns. A lengthy fight ensued before the enemy positions were quieted.
Hauptmann von Villebois, commanding 10 Company, was seriously wounded when his Tiger was hit some eight times by 122 mm shells from the Soviet assault guns. Nonetheless, the battalion reached the cemetery in Belsk, and passed through part of the village before advancing to the south of Grun against little opposition.
Six operational Tigers were left, including two command vehicles. Five had been hit by enemy fire, one was lost to mines, and seven Tigers suffered mechanical failures (either engine, transmission or gun). However, the battalion continued to advance, clearing the enemy out of the north edge of Budy without loss. Replenishment of fuel and ammunition followed, and at 1900 the battalion once more moved towards Belsk with only three Tigers still operational. The middle of Belsk was reached at 0100 where additional Soviet anti tank guns and mines were cleared.
This first combat action of the battalion caused the following casualties: One man killed, one officer seriously wounded, and three officers and three men with less serious wounds. The battalion was able to claim 21 Russian guns (anti tank, anti-aircraft, and artillery pieces) as well as nine armoured vehicles.
On 16 August, the battalion marches from Belsk to Grun, to a forest southwest of Akhtyrka. The next day, 10 Tigers were up and running.
further attacks on 18 August 1943 caused further casuaties; attacking Boich-Osero at 0830, eight Tigers hit wooden box mines in a thick minefield supplemented with heavy shells (possibly 21 cm in size) to increase the effectiveness of the mines. Some vehicles hit more than one mine simultaneously; the regular anti-tank mines caused superficial damage, but those laid with the larger shells causes major damage to tracks and suspension. Five Tigers suffered light damage in this field; the other three were immobilized. The battalion saw no further action that day on account of the damage. Only one man was wounded, however, due to a bomb fragment, and the battalion still accounted for five enemy anti-tank guns.
Just four Tigers were left operational.
On 19 August 1943, these four operational Tigers joined with the Panzer Regiment for an attack on Parchornowka; one was knocked out by an assault gun, and the enemy put up a stubborn resistance with anti-tank guns and tanks of T-34 and KV-1 type. The days' losses included three men dead and one wounded, with one Tiger heavily damaged and two other Tigers with damaged guns. However, the Tigers accounted for 12 heavy and six light anti-tank guns destroyed.
Including repairs done to other tanks, the Tiger battalion had 5 Tigers operational by evening.
On 20 August 1943, three of these Tigers went down due to mechanical breakdowns, two of them with transmission and electrical generator problems. While the unit moved south to link up with SS Division Totenkopf, five enemy tanks were knocked out by the two remaining runners.
In an engagement on 22 August 1943, a local counterattack saw a single Tiger destroy six heavy anti-tank guns and many anti-tank rifles.
On 23 August 1943, the Tiger battalion commander took over a kampfgruppe consisting of almost all of the remaining operational tanks in the Panzer Regiment GD as a whole - two Tigers, nine Panthers, three PzKpfw IV (long 7.5 cm gun), three PzKpfw IV (short barreled 7.5 cm guns), three PzKpfw III, three flamethrowing tanks and one command vehicle. The group was used to repulse enemy armoured incursions along the front of the Grenadier Regiment GD near Michailowka, 12 kilometres southwest of Akthyrka. One Tiger received a gun hit, but 25 enemy tanks and 7 enemy guns were knocked out.
On 24 August 1943, the divison moved west to defensive positions, with all operational tanks of the Panzer Regiment GD held in reserve, with all non-operational tanks moved further west in anticipation of a general withdrawal. This left just two Tigers with the battalion commander; strong enemy penetration of the Grenadier Regiment's lines were stopped, with four enemy tanks destroyed. These last two remaining Tigers fought throughout the night of 25-26 August. Further action on the 26th saw one Tiger break down due to engine and transmisson failure, and another receive hits in the suspension, gunsight and gun in a fight which saw the Tiger destroy two T-34s.
On 26 August 1943, 6 new Tigers arrived, bringing the total held by the Regiment to 41.
