Theodor Tolsdorff with the Ritterkreuz


Hauptmann Theodor Tolsdorff with the Ritterkreuz. He received the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on 4 December 1941 as Oberleutnant and Chef 14.Kompanie / III.Bataillon / Infanterie-Regiment 22 / 1.Infanterie-Division. On 21 November 1941, when Tolsdorff was acting commander of the II.Bataillon / Infanterie-Regiment 22, the Soviets (fighting from the Vyborgsskaja bridgehead) made a dangerous breakthrough in the battalion’s main defensive line. Scraping together a reserve Kompanie made up of drivers and communications troops from the battalionstaff, Tolsdorff led a counterattack against this penetration. Despite being wounded three times, he and his force succeeded in regaining the line.
