Point 1 of day report 10.11.1942

Low firing of ammo.
Strong increase of firing expected on 11.11.
Railroad inflow was still insufficient. From 08-10.11 in totl 7 pure supply trains arrived , therefore 1/3 of the necessary need. Increase of the inflow is urgently needed because the supply of the Army is not possible with such insufficient inflow.
Supply situation of the Army not relaxed yet."

Point 1 of day report 11.11.1942

High firing at LI AK. At other corps as before.
The train inflow was again bad. Defeciency in all supply areas increases.
The preparation of fuel for the ordered moving of individual mot. units has as a consequence the strongest restriction of the issuance to the corps. Increase of inflow is necessary.
Ammo situation at s.F.H,, l.JG. and s.J.G tight. Army reserves exhausted. Rerserves available at individual corps have now to be used.
No ammo has arrived at all today. 1 l.F.H train is expected in Tinguta. Other ammo trains are not pre-announced until now so that the Army must anticipate to receive no supply in ammo for 2 days.
At arrival of the pre-announced food and fodder trains, an improvement of the food situation is expected in the next days."

Point 1 of day report 12.11.1942

Firing lower as on the earler day.
The railway inflow is still sluggish and insufficient. The ammo stocks of the Army decrease withouit arrival of ammo supply in the corresponding ammo categories.
Ammo train 6 760 842 is pre-announced with lFH 18 from Debalzewo. The deficiency in s.F.H, l.JG.and s.J.G cannot be remedied by this.
Fast supply urgent.
Fuel situation still tight. Potential moves of further mot. troops behind the west wing of the Army are only possible when additional fuel is made available.With regard to this, the Army requests urgently to strengthen the inflow.
Food and fooder suation not relaxed yet."

Increased firing at LI AK, besides that low.
The railway inflow has not improved. Above all, the inflow in ammo trains urgently needs strengthening. Today, no ammo train arrived.
