6th PzD - OOB Question - Stalingrad

[Richrd]

von Nev, in the series of monographs about Hoth's relief attempt written by Raus for the U.S. army after the war, he never mentions any Sturmeshutz battalions at all. However, too many sources place the 228th in the attempt to relieve Paulus. It was available and up to strength. It's personnel were probably experienced Panzetruppen. I would guess it was a pretty good battalion with a lot of confidence in it's equipment.
