Cary Black 3 minutes ago (edited) The Stalingrad area was serviced only by 3 single track railway lines which were regularly interrupted by air attacks and partisans. Trucks were worn out and fuel scarce. Horses were sent back to winter quarters . By October the 6th Army was receiving less then half its required daily trainloads of supply. The 6th Army would face a hunger catastrophe even if they seized the entire city Fritz Ostkrieg p. 297.

However it was Hitler who set up the OKW OKH division and had the power to change it.

Richthofen sent 3 bomber wings to N. Africa and many of the JU52 aircraft needed for the airlift were instead involved in ferrying men and supplies to Tunisia.

@nomoneyglobal Yes there was always trains bringing supplies but not as often as needed and too little supplies. It was Operation Uranus that cut the German rail link and cut off supplies.
