Looking for the tanks and the Luftwaffe Detachment assigned to the Bde cited below:
"SS Brigade Schuldt, under Schuldt's command, was composed of units drawn from the SS Division Leibstandarte, SS Division Das Reich, SS Polizei Division and a detachment from the Luftwaffe. The brigade was moved to the Eastern Front in December 1942, and by 16 December was sent to the Stalingrad front."

Re: German Tanks as part of the "Schudlt Group"
Hello!
According to the activation order [Aufstellung der SS-Brigade "Schuldt", SS-Führungshauptamt, Kdo.Amt d.Waffen-SS Org.Trg.Nr.8776/42 geh, 21.12.1942] the Luftwaffe units were Luftwaffenfeldbataillon 100 reinforced with a heavy anti-tank company also provided by the Luftwaffe and Flakabteilung I./100 with three batteries of 8,8cm Flak und two batteries of 2cm Flak. No mention of any tanks. Given that SS-Brigade "Schuldt" fought under Armeeabteilung Hollidt the tanks might have belonged to 6. or 22. Pz.Div. or StuG III of 8. Lw.Felddiv.
