Ritterkreuz Action of Herbert Bartels

Herbert Bartels (15 August 1917 - 1 July 2009) received the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on 22 November 1943 as Leutnant and Chef 3.Batterie / Reserve-Flak-Abteilung 293 / Flak-Regiment 42 / 9.Flak-Division. The medal was awarded for distinguishing himself with his Batterie during the combat on the northern Crimean front as the Germans fought to repel Soviet attacks here in the months of October-November 1943. He and his 8.8 cm Flak guns were always requested by the German infantry wherever large Soviet armour concentrations appeared.
