Does anybody have the History of the 16th PzDiv???

I'm looking for any info about units and Kampfgruppen of the 16th Panzer-Division from November 1942 till January/February 1943 OUTSIDE the pocket of Stalingrad.

The planned bridgehead at Kallatsch couldn't be hold for much longer.
The vehicles couldn't cross the Don on the thin ice.
There was even a lack of petrol for the vehicles.
The 16.PzDiv lost some 700 vehicles.

Only one artillery-battalion of the PzArtRgt 16 got the way out of the beginning pocket, south east of Malitsch.

Has anybody additional infos????

MfG Michi
