"missing, presumed dead" was VERY frequent in Stalingrad because 1) there was nowhere to desert to, which is part of why the fighting was so intense. The Soviet forces could not retreat, later neither could the Germans. 2) Units OFTEN got encircled cut off and buildings often got smashed to rubble. So yeah, people turning up alive after all happened fairly frequently. 3) DId i mention fighting in the sewers? it happened too, one more reason people went "missing, presumed dead".

11:40 fun fact: you go into combat on an empty stomach, if possible. 1) Wounds to the abdomen are much less serious then, really. 2) Being angry can be helpful when literally killing people.

This is brilliant in your attention to detail; what percentage of paper strength are the units on each side at this point? I'm guessing around 60% for German infantry, 90% for german artillery, and 20% for german tanks? And maybe on average 40% accross the board for the Russians actual as opposed to planned strength? but i really don't know and hope for an expert answer.

@TheImperatorKnight I really haven't lived there, no. I had no idea they have, may i guess? A Black mark on their reputation My sense had been British police were among the best in the world. My measure for police corruption Mexico, which is even worse than Russia.
