"During the fighting south of Leningrad Leutnant Zeller threw back strong
enemy forces that had penetrated the left neighboring sector. This
action, carried out at the head of just a few Württemberg-Baden
Grenadiers, was executed on his own initiative. Afterwards he and his
troops were able to hold the recaptured position against numerous Soviet
attacks." from his Knight's Cross to the Iron Cross citation, awarded on February 7th, 1944 as Leutnant of 9./Grenadier-Regiment 380.
