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."

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.
Ciao
