Evgeny -

Here is an OB that's as close to the date you want that I could find:

Jul 42

Assigned units on 27 Jul: Stab/FAGr. 4, 3.(F)/10, 2.(F)/11, 2.(F)/22, 4.(F)/122, Stab,1.(F).3.(F)/125, 2.(F)/Ob.d.L., 1.(F)/Nacht, Westa 76, Stab/NAGr. 1 (with 3.(H)/31?, 2.(H)/32?), Stab/NAGr. 3 (with 3.(H)/14, 4.(H)/31), Stab/NAGr. 4 (with 6.(H)/13, 2.(H)/41), Stab/NAGr. 7 (with 1.(H)/10, 4.(H)/10), Stab/NAGr. 8 (with 3.(H)/13), Stab/NAGr. 9 (with 2.(H)/10, 5.(H)/11, 1.(H)/21, 7.(H)/32), Stab/NAGr. 10 (with 2.(H)/31, 5.(H)/32), Stab/NAGr. 12 (with 6.(H)/41 and?), Stab/NAGr. 14 (with 3.(H)/11, 5.(H)/41), Stab/NAGr. 16 (with 3.(H)/12, 5.(H)/12), Stab,I.,II.,III./JG 3, Stab,II.,III./JG 52, 15.(kroat.)/JG 52, I./JG 53, Stab,II.,III./JG 77, III./ZG 1, II./St.G. 1, Stab,I.,II.,III./St.G. 2, Stab,I.,II.,III./St.G. 77, Stab,I.,II./Schl.G. 1, II./KG 26, Stab,I.,II.,III./KG 27, Stab,I.,II.,III./KG 51, Stab,I.,II.,III./KG 55, Stab,I.,II.,III./KG 76, Stab,I./KG 100, III./LG 1, plus numerous liaison, courier and transport units].
Jul: while IV. and VIII. Fliegerkorps were occupied in supporting the advance toward the Don and Volga, Fliegerführer Süd (with III./JG 77, II./KG 26, I./KG 100, III./LG 1, Erg.St./St.G. 77 and two reconnaissance Staffeln on 15 Jul) bombed Black Sea ports from Novorossisk to Poti, various targets in North Caucasia, and flew reconnaissance over the Black Sea. Between 3 and 31 July, Fliegerführer Süd claimed 24 enemy planes shot down in air action and 10 more down by Flak. 5 Jul: VIII. Fliegerkorps flew concentrated Stuka and bomber attacks on Voronezh while IV. Fliegerkorps struck bridges along the Don. Voronezh was taken by 24. Pz.Div. the next day. 8 Jul: VIII. Fliegerkorps hit VVS airfields N and NE of Voronezh claiming 38 Russian planes shot down and 35 more destroyed on the ground. 9 Jul: the second phase of the summer campaign, Operation “Blau II – Clausewitz”, began with Pz.AOK 1 striking across the Donets River, skirting around the north end of the Donets Basin and then heading SE toward North Caucasia via Millerovo, where it linked up with Pz.AOK 4 on 15 July. 11 Jul: the first phase of the campaign successfully concluded with around 70,000 prisoners taken. 14-15 Jul: with the Red Army in full retreat, Heeresgruppe A (Pz.AOK 1, AOK 17 and Romanian forces) began advancing toward Rostov, which was taken on 23 July, and into North Caucasia while Heeresgruppe B (Pz.AOK 4, AOK 2, AOK 6, 2d Hungarian Army and 8th Italian Army) drove forward along the Don toward Stalingrad. This was the main phase of the 1942 campaign, and generally referred to as Operation “Blau”, but the H.Gr. A portion was now officially called Operation “Edelweiss” and the H.Gr. B portion Operation “Fischreiher” (Heron). 21-23 Jul: Luftflotte 4 flew heavy, continuous Stuka and bomber attacks on retreating enemy columns clogging the roads approaching Rostov from Taganrog and Shakhty, and withdrawing through the city itself. 23 Jul: Hitler issued Directive 45 which, among other provisions, called upon the Luftwaffe to destroy the city of Stalingrad. 26 Jul: Luftflotte 4 claimed 113 enemy aircraft in the air and on the ground in a day of particularly intense air action. Most of these, 88 of the total, were destroyed in the AOK 6 sector W and NW of Stalingrad.

Hope this helps! However, you will still need the Hungarian and Italian OB.
