The 505th lost only four Tigers during Kursk but lost another six by the end of July 1943. After Kursk, the battalion was moved to the Smolensk area. It was equipped with the new Tiger Is and was ordered out of the Eastern Front in July 1944 to refit at Ohrdruf. In September 1944, the unit was equipped with the new Tiger Ausf.

Campaign - Late 1944 - On July 6, 1944, six Tiger II tanks were delivered as the battalion is reconstituted. Another 39 are delivered between 10-29 August. In September the battalion is attached to 2.Armee for support. The battalion is then attached to the 24.Panzer-Division and conducts terrain recon near the Narev River, where the Soviet forces had penetrated the "East Prussia" Position. The 2nd Kompanie is assembled west of Giedziunowo. In late September the battalion is attached to the newly arrived 3.Panzer Division for Operation "Sunflower." Later in October they withdraw to Klein Haldenau and covering position near Grunweide. Later the tanks are attached to Fallschirm-Panzer-Korps "Hermann Goring."
