What was the name of the ad-hoc division, formed by Army Group "A" in late September 1942 and tasked with capturing the important Black see port of Tuapse?
Was it "Gruppe Lanz"?

Well, allright. Let's see...

How many German and Romanian generals were captured during the Battle for Stalingrad? So, the generals of the Sixth German Army, the Fourth German Panzer Army, The fourth Romanian Army and the Third Romanian Army.

That will keep you busy.

The 17 captured generals include Lt. Gen. Schmidt; Marshal Paulus' chief of staff; and the quartermaster general of the German Sixth Army. Of the other 14, 10 were German lieutenant generals, two were German major generals, and two were Romanian generals

The remnants of the German forces in Stalingrad surrendered on February 2, 1943. 91,000 tired and starving Germans were taken captive. To the delight of the Soviet forces and the dismay of the Reich these prisoners included 22 generals.

As a result of the defeat, the German Army lost enough material to equip a quarter of the German Army. There were approximately 150,000 dead, and another 90,000 taken prisoner, including 24 generals
