Usual estimates for prisoners taken at Stalingrad are in the 90,000 to 100,000 range. Also, out of these, about 60,000 were dead already by the spring of 43. Out of 90+K about 5000 survived.

What I meant by "things changed" was that this case was in the middle of the most critical period, when the treatment was perhaps the worst. Prisoners captured towards the war's end had much better odds of surviving. Will look for more stats.
