So that's where it is. As I said, not implausible, I simply had no source for this.
Well, 22 PzDiv was the only German force. There were two armies, a Romanian and an Italian, covering the north flank of 6 Army, and 22PD was part of 48th PzKorps with a Romanian Division, in 3 Romanian Army reserve.
