LII. AK at the beginning of August 43

#1

The help is required in determining of Verpflegungsstärken and Gefechtsstärken of the LII. AK at the August 1st. 43.
57. ID-?
255. ID-?
332. ID-?
167. ID-?
The main issue is about manpower of 332. ID and 255. ID.
The 255 ID didn't take part in fights and its manpower according to reports of the 4 TA has changed from 14114 (July 5th.) to 17119 (July 24th.).
The reports of the 4 TA give for 332. ID - 14232 (July 24th.). But in T315R2076 shown that 332 ID had around 8431(without Gren.Rgt. 677) + 434(Nicht Wehrm.Ungeb.)

I try to calculate the number of the German troops, which could be included to an encirclement at Tomarovka-Borissovka

Thanks Christoph.
But this isn't required info. According to the reports of 4 TA the I./ and III./Gren.Rgt. 677 of 332. ID have been submitted to XXXXVIII. PzK, a little bit later few battalions from Gren.Rgt. 678 also were away from the Division sector as the I./AR 332 and parts Pz.Jg.Abt. At that moment some parts of 57. ID. were transfered to 332. ID sector.
The command of 4 TA demanded from H.Gr. Süd about replacement of 332. ID as a result of weak combat condition. They have pointed that 332. ID so weak that cannot resist against Russian recon actions. H.Gr Süd refused of this demand and advised to use presented units. It will force the command of 4 TA to replace 332. ID with 57. ID in the future, but Soviet offensive didn't give this opportunity. After beginning of Russian offensive Gepz.Gruppe from 11. PD has been sent to Tomarovka for counteroffensive.
