"Oberwachtmeister Alex destroyed a total of 10 enemy tanks
with his Sturmgeschütz during the tank battle at Jaworow on the
26.06.1941 and during a nocturnal attack on the night of the
27./28.06.1941. These swift and determined actions established the
appropriate conditions for a rapid advance on Lemberg by his division. During this continued forward advance he
encountered a Soviet armored train at the Kopysynac railway station. He
opened fire on it from very close range and successfully destroyed its
heavy 15-cm gun. Pursuing the enemy closely, his greatest achievement
came on the 23.07.1941. Fighting at the head of his division, he secured
the crossing over the Bug river at Brazlaf on this day. In the process
he became badly wounded." from his Knight's Cross to the Iron Cross citation, awarded on August 1st, 1941 as Oberwachtmeister of Sturmgeschütz Abteilung 243 of the XXXXIX. Gebirgs-Armeekorps.
Another deadly enemy elite,
Brian
