Re: List from TsAMO of 99 (!) German warplanes and 22 motors captured at the Chir (Tschir) station (Stalingrad area)

One reason might be the supply difficulties. The logistical situation of the German 6th A was rather catastrophic even before the Soviet counteroffensive and the very difficult supply situation might well has its effects on the LW. Maybe many of the damaged planes were kept there as sources for spare parts.

Just a thought.
