Bf-109 G-1 in Stalingrad

Hello !
This 2 parts of Bf-109 G-1 (high-altitude modification with a pressurized cockpit) canopy was found near Stalingrad .
G-1 has been made only in February, 1942. Only 167 pieces. All planes have been sent on the western front, and only a few in March, 1943 on East front in J.G.5 - but it is the north (Murmansk)! How could get in Stalingrad?
Any information is very interesting!
Many thanks for yours help !
