Point 1 of day report 02.10.1942
The volume of fire was again high, especially at Gr.Schwedler. It could be covered from Army stocks.
In the night of 1/2.10 several air attacks with bombs and on-board weapons took place on the V.St.P. Nowo Alexejeskij . By direct hits, the barn of the AVL caught fire . The ration stocks contained in it were completely destroyed.
By immediate transport of rations from Tschir and Tschernyschkow, the rations gap will be closed again by 03.10.
By the continuous air attacks AOK 6 is forced to further and further decentralisation of the supply bases and dispersal of the supply goods stocked there. With the actual forces this is not possible anymore. It is therefore urgently requested to move up a further supply batallion and building forces as soon as possible because of the air threat.
AOK 6 points out that at the time 20 german divisions and 7 rumanian units have to be supplied."

7,5 cm KwK/L24
In the following ammo categories the Army stocks are exhausted:
l.J.G
8 cm mortar
7,5 cm KwK(lg)
pistol 08
28 cm mortars
The Army requests fast delivery because especially l.J.G and 8 cm mortar shells are fired a lot. At 7,5 cm KwK(lg) regular air supply is requested.
Fuel situation tight. Improvement promised.
The train inflow was insufficient today.
The assigned glysanthin train F.Nr 494015, border crossing 20/21.9 has still not arrived in the Army sector. The need is urgent as in the night temperatures of -6 were measured and all vehicles have to stand in the open."

Normal firing volume.
At 8 cm mortar shells and l.J.G there was an improvement. Ammo for 21 cm mortars, 10 cm Kan. still scarce. The to be expecected high volume of fire in a few days makes an increased supply of artillery ammo especially necessary.
7,5 cm KwK lg did not arrive. Fast air supply necessary because the Sturmgeschützabteiungen at LI AK are not operational anymore at the time becuse of lack of ammo.
Fuel situation very tight. The inflow does not allow a sufficient supply of the divisions anymore.The mobility is very much reduced and makes necessary displacements of the fast units impossible. AOK request an urgent remedy because otherwise the ordered regroupements in the area of Stalingrad cannot be executed. The delivery of winterclothing and the necessary supply before the mud period are also impaired by this.
The inflow of trains is still sluggish and not sufficient. Above all, AOK has the impression that the order of the trains happens without regard for the supply situation despite the fact that the necessity of the delivery of ammo and fuel was especially pointed out for for days .
The Army again points out the serious deficiency in weapons which makes it impossible to replace the losses. The train for bringing forward the reserves of material reserves still stocked in Charkow which was requested long-since, has not been authorised despite urgent appeals."
