AFTERMATH: The front stabilized when the Russians could not punch through the front to envelop and destroy the SS divisions. After persistent and fruitless bludgeoning of the well entrenched and camouflaged SS Panzerkorp, the Fifth Guards Tank Army gave up its attack and another calm settled over the shaky front held by the Germans northwest of Warsaw. The Totenkofp divisions exceptional combat performance did not escape Hitler;s attentions. Hitler claimed that if he had a few more extra battalions to sent SSTK, the situation might improve because, "whenever one sent them reinforcements, they always counterattacked successfully."
