Soviet Hurricanes - where, when, ...?

[Andrey Dikov]

>Yes it is the key word, I think the day of begining of "Fall Blau" was the begining of operation for "capturing" Stalingrad (28 VI 1942). The first phase to capture Voronez, nextr to Don river (Don's bend) and later towards Stalingard. For me this is the period of begining the battle + phases.

You're just completely wrong. If you want to refer to German terms, then Blau is not a Battle for Stalingrad at all. That's the plan of German summer offensive on south sector in general, including drive to Voronezh and two main offensives - to Stalingrad and Caucasus.

So, the planes which took part in combats for Voronezh and Northern Caucasus can't be regarded as taking part in Stalingrad battle.

If you will use Soveit terms, then there was a Voronezh-Voroshilovgrad Strategic Defensive Operation (28.6 - 24.7.42), Stalingrad Strategic Defensive Operation (17.7-18.11.42) and North-Caucasian Strategic Defensive Operation (25.7-31.12.42).

So, there were no those Hurricanes near Stalingrad and they didn't take part in Battle for Stalingrad.

And learn to teach on your mistakes and admit your mistakes, don't dispute by any cost.

If the researcher, who directly worked in TsAMO with the documents of that IAD, tells you something, just obey the circumstances. Because your own knowledge about subject of discussion (Soviet Hurricanes) is rather poor, doesn't matter you wrote some article.
