RE: 6th PzD - OOB Question - Stalingrad
I apologise in advance for doing this to you guys, but if you want confusing, I got lots of it.
At the same time the 232nd StuG abt received it's orders to entrain for the eastern front, the 203rd StuG Abt was already in Salsk. Christmas Eve the battalion was attached to 57th Pz Kps, moved up and fought on the Aksay. The commander of the 3rd Batterie was a Leutnant Koch, who was killed on January 14th. On the 27th, Major Kodel returned to the command of the battalion. So, there's 31.
Thats not all. It seems the 2nd battery of the 243rd StuG was outside the pocket and it too was attached to the 57th PzKps sometime in december. One battery would be ten StuG's. Forty one all told, if at full strength. Could this be Raus' assault guns?
