Joseph Shultz, the gunner of the crew took command of the 502 Tigergruppe. He stalled the advancing Allies from Autry, up to the bitter end. He died in his Tiger. Maximillian Voss was promoted to Major-General of the Panzer Lehr Division. The remnants of the crew were redeployed to Holland on September 1944.
