"On the 09.01.1945 the panzer battalion of Hauptmann Arendt was involved
in an attack on the city of Hatten while under the command of
Kampfgruppe Huss,. The first German attacks from the Southeast met heavy
fire and bogged down. Arendt thus redirected his armored group to the North and attacked from the Northeast, and was able to break the Allied
resistance in that part of the city. However later that same day Arendt
was killed in battle. Even so his success was duly noted and he was
posthumously awarded the Knight’s Cross." from his Knight's Cross to the Iron Cross citation, awarded on February 24th, 1945 as Hauptmann of Panzer Battalion 5 in the 25 Panzergrenadier Division.
Another deadly enemy elite,
