No. The Germans reached the Volga in the vicinity of Rynok south of Stalingrad, and interdicted soviet river traffic at that point. They didn't cross the volga.

of course they did- they reached the river and scouts must have been sent to the other side- standard military practice
and a little later a few hundred thousand others followed- on their way to Siberia
Alesha says
No, at least not officially. In fact the only place they reached the Volga was in the immediate area of and inside the city of Stalingrad.
