Dear All!

I am investigating battle near Melitopol (September-October 1941).
There is a very strange thing in this action of Romanian Mountain corps.
Ex-stab officer of german 1 Geb.Div. Hans Steets in "Gebirgsjäger in der Nogaischen Steppe" describes in detail defensive actions of romanian Kavalry and Mountain corps but when germans began offensive at 1-4 of October 1941 romanian mountain brigades mysteriously disappear.
I think them should have took part in german "Kesselschlacht".

Could you possibly provide me any information of this action?
