This may help a bit:

Nahaufklärungsgruppe Fleischmann
(Unit Code 6T+)?

Formed November-December 1942, probably at Morosovskaya, as a provisional (ad hoc, an der Kommandoweg aufgestellt) or tactical Stab (headquarters and staff) to carry out reconnaissance tasks in the chaotic conditions along the front to the west of Stalingrad. Although its lineage has remained elusive, it may have been hastily established from elements of Stab/NAGr. 7 and/or Stab/NAGr.12.· Hptm. Werner Fleischmann was the Kommandeur of NAGr. 7 at the time. Although little is known of this Stab, it is believed to have been put together to support German defensive measures at Stalingrad and offensive relief efforts that attempted to break through to the surrounded city during the second half of December. The Gruppenstab and the aircraft attached to it are believed to have remained at Morosovskaya until 5 January 1943, when advancing Soviet forces took the village and the airfield, and then withdrew west into the Donets Basin. Disbanded around mid-January 1943 with the survivors, or at least many of them, incorporated into NAGr.12.
