The German advance was stopped in its tracks by the Soviet border fortifications and poor battle prowess of the SS troops, earning Demelhuber a sarcastic "congratulation" from von Falkenhorst for the behaviour of his troops.
On 4 July XXXVI Corps' headquarters staff were astonished to see terrified motorized SS troops fleeing down the road, claiming that they had encountered Russian tanks and that the bridges across the Kerni River had to be blown.
The corps was proud to have captured Salla and inflicted such a stinging defeat upon the enemy, but von Falkenhorst commented sarcastically that the positions that SS Nord had confronted could have been taken by raw recruits (von Falkenhorst's comments were quite unfair).

 HyperWar: "The German Campaign in Poland (1939)" [Part III]
Corps Wodrig was to execute an enveloping movement to take the Polish units defending Mlawa in the rear, while the 1st Cavalry Brigade secured the exposed left of the corps as it turned in its swing to the west.
German aircraft that participated in the campaign were in little better condition by the end of operations, having had to fly repeated sorties as the weather permitted, often from bases with only the most primitive landing and few if any maintenance facilities.
The bulk of the German armed forces had to be committed to overcome the Poles, and the expenditure in ammunition, gasoline, and matériel was such as to preclude concurrent German operations on a similar scale in the west or elsewhere.

For this object the states of the Zollverein ought to establish everywhere consulates and diplomatic agencies, by means of which the settlement and undertakings of German citizens could be promoted, and especially to assist those states in every practicable way in giving stability to their governments and improving their degree of civilisation.
What we contend is only this, that those Germans who emigrate to the west of North America give no important assistance in increasing the demand for German manufactured goods, and that in reference to that object emigration to Central and South America requires and deserves very much more direct encouragement.
A vigorous German consular and diplomatic system ought to be established in these quarters, the branches of which should enter into correspondence with one another.
