Yes, page 39 of Waiss' Band V describes the events of Jan 19th. It includes the following paragraph:
Bordmechaniker Stfw. Herber of 9./KG 27 was killed by artillery fire. He was part of the crew of Major Thiel, who spoke to General Paulus about the supplying of Stalingrad, with regard to Gumrak airfield.
Hope that helps,

p.s. Just wanted to compliment you on the incredible depth of photographic research evident in your book "Angriff" -- it sets a very high standard, one that I hope other authors and enthusiasts will aspire to.
