RE: 6th PzD - OOB Question - Stalingrad
228 StuG abt is in Kurowski's book. It's in the back "Also there was...' section. A couple of othere sources also mention the 228th being involved in the attempt to relieve Stalingrad. Plus the 228th was attached to the 6th Pz often during the first half of 43. The 228th was only formed in Nov-Dec 42. So it would be but a babe. Also 6th Pz only had about 24 PzIV with the long 75. Forty, or even twenty, StuGs with the same gun would have been a huge multiplier. Lastly, Raus may have been a fine panzer commmander, but he writes like a doctor. I was plodding through it, and I'm extremely grateful you gave a page number.
