Sources - bombing of Soviet rail lines 42

Looking for sources about the German bomber attacks in 1942 that were intended to interdict the front at Stalingrad, targeting the Urbah–Top Baskunchak–Zaplavnoye rail line through Kazakhstan. German bombers made about extensive attacks on rail infrastructure, as far away as Kazakhstan, including Shungai station, Saikhin and Dzhanybek.

The recent Osprey on Il-2 units has a brief mention of them being pressed into service as night fighters in defense of these targes.
