Ritterkreuz Action of Hansjörg Hauser

Hansjörg Hauser (6 March 1916 - 30 August 1944) received the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on 17 August 1943 as Hauptmann and Kommandeur II.Bataillon / Grenadier-Regiment 35 (motorisiert) / 25.Panzergrenadier-Division. In mid-July 1943 Hauptmann Hauser and his II./Grenadier-Regiment 35 were deployed to guard the left flank and retreat road (Kirejkowo—Sereditschi) of the 25. Panzergrenadier-Division from Soviet forces attacking from the direction of Nogaja. Despite very strong opposing pressure, the Bataillon was able to master all crises it came up against and fulfill its vital mission for the Division. Hauptmann Hauser would be awarded the Ritterkreuz for his particularly flexible and successful combat leadership during this battle.
