Re: 12 Jan 1943 Stalingrad Bf 109s
The closing dates for the two airfields tend to support the story, but the absence of loss report entries is troubling.
Pitomnik (e. Pitomnik) (a.k.a. Stalingrad-Pitomnik) (c. 48 44 N – 44 12 E) General: airstrip 21 km W of Stalingrad and adjacent to major rail and road connections; in German use by August 1942; greatly expanded during October and the first half of November 1942 to serve out the winter as one of 7 major air bases around Stalingrad. 16 Jan 43 ceased operations. Gumrak (e. Gumrak) (a.k.a. Stalingrad-Gumrak) (48 46 N – 44 20 E) General: airstrip in S Russia 13.5 km WNW of Stalingrad. Dec 42 used for the Stalingrad airlift. 22 Jan 43 ceased operations.
