By doing this he spared the Division unnecessary losses, accelerated the fall of the fortifications near Detschino along with the destruction of an infantry regiment and enabled the Division to pursue the enemy forces that fled to the northeast. During this pursuit 16 heavy anti-aircraft guns and numerous weapons fell into the hands of the Division. By doing this Oberstleutnant von Bose achieved an outstanding success for the conduct of the combat in the area, one which can be added to the extremely brave behaviour he demonstrated on two other occasions.

Jobst Hilmar Bodo Alexander Graf von Bose (September 21, 1897 in Berlin – March 26, 1949 in Bamberg) came from the branch of the Saxon noble family von Bose, which had been mentioned since 1230 and which was elevated to the rank of Prussian count on April 6, 1880. He was the son of Gebhardt Count von Bose (1869-1939), entailed commissioner Ellingshausen, district of Meiningen, Saxony-Meininger chamberlain, and his wife Irene Burggravine and Countess of Dohna (1874-1962). He was married to Verena Samson von Himmelstjerna on April 28, 1925, with whom he had a son and a daughter.
Following family tradition, Bose chose the career of a military officer. From 1911 he was educated in the cadet corps and in 1914 he was assigned as an ensign to the Uhlan Regiment "Prinz August von Württemberg" (Posensches) No. 10 of the Prussian Army in Züllichau. Bose took part in World War I, mostly in the Eastern theater of war, and became a lieutenant. For his work he received both classes of the Iron Cross, the Medal for Merit in War and the Rescue Medal with Ribbon.
In the course of the army reduction imposed by the Versailles Peace Treaty on Germany, he was dismissed after the war in 1919, but was initially reassigned as a lieutenant in the Reichswehr from 1920. From 1925 Bose was a first lieutenant and from February 1, 1932 he was a captain in the 8th (Prussian) Cavalry Regiment. After the National Socialists took power and the new government pushed ahead with the expansion of the army, he became a major in 1936.
After the outbreak of the Second World War, he became a battalion commander in the newly established 289th Infantry Regiment in the 98th Infantry Division in 1939 and took part in the 1940 campaign in France with this association. He later led his 1st Battalion on the Eastern Front after the attack on the Soviet Union. His battalion captured a fortified position in the Stalin Line near Dechino and captured 16 heavy anti-aircraft guns of the Red Army. His battalion threw back a counterattack by a Soviet regiment. For this he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on December 4, 1941, now a lieutenant colonel.
In 1942 he became commander of the infantry regiment and was promoted to colonel. He was badly wounded in the heavy fighting of that year. After his release from the hospital in 1943, he was given command of the 263rd Grenadier Regiment, with which he was deployed in Normandy in 1944 during the Allied invasion. In this capacity, Bose received the German Cross in Gold on March 22, 1945. From April 25, 1945 until the end of the war he was in charge of the subordinate Grenadier Regiment 744 with the leadership of the 711th Infantry Division, which was taken prisoner of war by the Russians in the Deutsch-Brod area.
After his release from captivity, he lived in Bamberg, where he died on March 26, 1949.
