Ritterkreuz award ceremony for Oberstleutnant Alfred-Hermann Reinhardt (Kommandeur Infanterie-Regiment 421 / 125.Infanterie-Division). Awarding the medal is Generalmajor Wilhelm "Willi" Schneckenburger (Kommandeur 125. Infanterie-Division). Reinhardt received the medal on 4 December 1941. It was awarded for his achievements during the operations of his Regiment during the encirclement battle of Kiev. Through the capture of Tarassowka by his Regiment on 20 September 1941 the Germans were able to prevent a large portion of Soviet soldiers escaping the Kiev pocket. Reinhardt presumably had a key part in this major tactical success with far-reaching operational significance.
