103 Shutzen Regiment 14th panzerdivision

[i.spring]

Does anyone have any facts about the 103 Shutzen regiment.
It was originally in the 4 panzer armee in France and then in 1941, it was transfered to the newly formed 14 panzer division.
The 14th panzer division was sent to the Balkans and Jukeslavia and finally found itself on the eastern front (I think 42)

Can i ask did the 14th panzerdivision get ropped into ther Stalingrad pocket or what happened to it?

Thanks.
