A counter attack later re-established the Allied line, by which time three A7Vs were out of action in No Man's Land or behind German lines. "Nixe" was badly damaged, and a German team destroyed it with explosive charges during the night of the 24th. "Elfriede" had overturned; it was righted and recovered from No Man's Land three weeks later by French troops and British tanks, and handed over to the French for examination. "Mephisto" lay stuck in a crater behind German lines for almost three months. After the area was taken by Australian troops, in July, the tank was towed to the rear by British tanks and, eventually, transported to Australia.
