StuGs at Stalingrad

[Colonel Chabert]

Hello all,

Does anyone have a breakdown of the different models of StuG used by the various battalions in the Stalingrad campaign?

I think the units involved were StuG Abt 177, 191, 243, 244 and 245.

From the photos I have seen there seem to be a lot of the short barreled models (particularly the Ausf B) and a smaller number of long-barreled Ausf Fs but I don't know whether every battalion had this mixture. For example I read somewhere that in the case of Abt 243 one of its batteries (the 2nd I think) avoided being trapped in the pocket because it had been sent to the rear to pick up a consignment of new Ausf Fs but I haven't seen any info on whether the other two batteries already had some long-barreled vehicles or whether they were still equipped only with the older models.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Le Colonel

Hello, Art, may I ask AFV strength of Panzerjager abteilung 521 and 670 in mid nov 1942 ? I only know 521 possibly still had VK3001 Sturer Emil and PzIVa Dicker Max.
