The medal was awarded for his command during the Third Battle of Kharkov in February-March 1943. In the midst of the German counteroffensive to retake the city from Soviet forces, Peiper's battalion executed a daring relief operation to rescue the encircled 320th Infantry Division, which had been cut off and was struggling westward through deep snow and blizzards. Under relentless Soviet pressure, Peiper personally led his grenadiers in brutal hand-to-hand fighting against a Soviet ski battalion, hacking through enemy lines in freezing conditions to break the encirclement. The rescue culminated in a fierce clash at the village of Krasnaya Polyana, where his troops fought room-to-room and discovered their own rearguard medical detachment had been massacred and mutilated by Soviet forces. Peiper's men pushed forward with ferocious determination, securing bridgeheads essential for the broader advance and enabling the safe extraction of the battered infantry division, including its sick and wounded, back to German lines. His personal example of courage, including close-quarters destruction of enemy armor, turned the tide in this critical sector and earned him the Ritterkreuz.

Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub (27.01.1944) as SS-Obersturmbannführer and Kommandeur SS-Panzer-Regiment 1 / 1.SS-Panzer-Division “Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler”. Peiper’s Eichenlaub recommendation reads as follows:
“On the 04.12.1943 the Division received the task of advancing out of the area NW of Tschernjachoff and across the line Mokrentschina—Pekartschina in order to thrust into the flank of those enemy troops opposite the frontline of the XIII. Armee-Korps. These hostile forces were to be crushed with an energetic blow in order to enable the both the Division as well as the other Divisionen of the XXXXVIII. Panzer-Korps to secure the advance of the XIII. Armee-Korps to the Teterew river. It was intended that contact would be established with the simultaneously advancing LIX. Armee-Korps.
Kampfgruppe Peiper (SS-Pz.Rgt. 1, reinforced SS-Pz.Aufkl.Abt. 1, III.(gep.)/SS-Pz.Gren.Rgt. 2, 2./SS-Pz.Pi.Btl. 1, 5./SS-Flak.Abt. 1) was ordered to commence its advance at 15:00 on the 05.12.1943. His task was to bypass the enemy-occupied village of Tschernjachoff from the west under the cover of night before advancing along a broad front via Andrejew and the high ground along both sides of Styrty. Then, without regard for any threat to the flanks, he would advance and secure additional territory in the direction of Radomyschl.
The Kampfgruppe first captured Sseljantschina with its foremost elements. Then, at 20:00 on the 05.12.1943, the reconnaissance units of the III.(gep.)/SS-Pz.Gren.Rgt. 2 reported that the enemy was firmly established in deeply echeloned field positions west of Pekartschina. The village itself was also prepared for all around defense. The village could not be bypassed because of the unfavourable terrain conditions. More than that, it was imperative that the bridges in the village fall into friendly hands undamaged. Thus SS-Sturmbannführer personally took over command of the armoured Bataillon (which he had only recently relinquished command of) and launched a ferocious night attack against this village. The totally surprised enemy forces (both in front of and within the village) were annihilated by the weapons and flamethrowers of the friendly SPWs.
During the subsequent friendly reconnaissance probes towards Andrejew (which SS-Sturmbannführer Peiper again personally led), he acquired important details needed for planning the attack of his armoured group on the following day.
With the help of the information obtained by this nocturnal reconnaissance, he set out at dawn and crushed an enemy Pakfront. By around 06:00 Andrejew had been captured, and the road Tschernjachoff—Korosten blocked. To the east of Andrejew the Kampfgruppe then overran several enemy batteries, and after eliminating several anti-tank gun strongpoints the high ground on both sides of Styrty was secured by around 10:00. With this the objective of the first day had been reached.
The Kampfgruppe then continued with its advance towards the east, eliminating enemy batteries and Pakfronts as it went. During this torrential advance it captured the command posts of the 121st Rifle Division (in Kisselowka), the 322nd Rifle Division (in Seliyzschy), the 148th Rifle Division (in Kamenny Brid) and the 336th Rifle Division (in Kaitanowka). The Kampfgruppe then had to halt at Kaitanowka in order to resupply.
On this day the Kampfgruppe destroyed or captured the following:
- 22 artillery pieces
- 76 anti-tank guns (7.62 cm)
- 38 anti-tank rifles
- 49 machine-guns
- 40 vehicles
- 71 horse drawn wagons
- 1450 dead.
This onslaught (which saw the armoured group advance 30 km deep into the enemy’s rear despite the extreme difficulties related to the terrain and navigation) wrought havoc along the entire length of the Russian front, and this enabled the Divisionen of the XIII. Armee-Korps to advance.
As the enemy had periodically interdicted the friendly supply road on the 06.12.1943, the armoured group was only able to resume its easterly advance during the afternoon of the 07.12.1943. It began by advancing towards Tschaikowka.
The enemy had transformed this place into a fortress, and reinforced its defenses with swiftly brought up anti-tank guns. Thus, in order to avoid friendly losses, SS-Sturmbannführer Peiper decided to wait until darkness before bypassing Tschaikowka to the north and continuing the advance eastwards.
At around 19:00 the armoured group was already in the rear of the enemy, and after eliminating a few anti-tank guns it thrust about 10 km towards the east. The Kampfgruppe was then ordered by the Division to pivot northwards, and as it kept advancing it captured Chodory and then entered into the heavily fortified village of Sabolot. Following brutal urban combat, SS-Sturmbannführer Peiper and his men were firmly in control of the village by around 10:00 on the following day.
During this night attack Kampfgruppe Peiper destroyed or captured the following:
- 1 tank (T-34)
- 8 artillery pieces
- 1 anti-tank gun (4.5 cm)
- 61 anti-tank guns (7.62 cm)
- 21 anti-tank rifles
- 55 machine-guns
- 5 vehicles
- 930 dead
- 3 prisoners.
This nocturnal rampage by SS-Sturmbannführer Peiper and his armoured group deep in the rear of the enemy created a breach in the enemy’s defensive system of strongpoints. The net result was that the foe was unable to establish an operational bridgehead across the Teterew.
During these days of battle SS-Sturmbannführer Peiper demonstrated extraordinary bravery as well as excellent tactical leadership of his strong formation. His personal boldness, determined execution of his battle plans and his lightning-swift recognition and utilization of favourable situations enabled his armoured group to bring about a great success for the Division.
More than this, the SS-Pz.Rgt. 1 was able to destroy/capture the following under the leadership of SS-Sturmbannführer Peiper in the time period 21.11.-24.12.1943:
- 100 tanks (T-34)
- 11 guns
- 124 anti-tank guns (7.62 cm)
- 24 anti-tank rifles
- 16 vehicles
- 14 tractors
- 7 AA guns
- 2 aircraft (Li-2s).
I believe that the proven personal bravery and outstanding regimental leadership of SS-Sturmbannführer Peiper mark him as one worthy of being awarded the Eichenlaub to the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes. I ask that this high award be given unto him.”
Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub und Schwertern (11.01.1945) as SS-Obersturmbannführer and Kommandeur SS-Panzer-Regiment 1 / 1.SS-Panzer-Division “Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler”. Peiper’s Schwerter’ recommendation reads as follows:
“SS-Obersturmbannführer Peiper has previously distinguished himself outstandingly in the campaigns of the 1. SS-Panzer-Division ‘LSSAH’ since August 1941, and been decorated with the Oakleaves to the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross. More recently, during the first days of the great offensive in the west, Peiper once again showed decisive boldness, ruthlessness and level-headed leadership in every situation as commander of the armoured group of the Division.
After overcoming substantial road/terrain difficulties, and making contact with the 3. Fallschirm-Jäger-Division at Lanzerath, the armoured group launched a surprise attack against the heavily secured village of Honsfeld. It captured the village as well as the bulk of an American reconnaissance battalion. Quick to exploit this success, he immediately resumed advancing towards Büllingen. Despite strong resistance the thoroughly conducted attack succeeded, and in the process 12 enemy aircraft and abundant war materiel fell into the hands of the Kampfgruppe. Disregarding possible flank threats, with only the aim of a deep thrust in mind, the armoured group continued advancing through Möderscheid-Schoppen-Faymonville-Ligneuville. Near Baugnez an enemy supply column was annihilated, and after eliminating the blocking formations placed in front of it the Kampfgruppe forced the staff of the 49th Anti-Aircraft artillery brigade into flight.
Without regard for security or stopping the group carried on with its commander at the spearhead, pursuing the fleeing enemy and already reaching Stavelot by the evening. After reassembling the group attacked on the morning of the 18.12.1944 against tough enemy resistance made even stronger by the terrain, which heavily favoured the defense. The bridge here was captured, and the group immediately continued advancing further via Trois-Ponts towards La Gleize.
Already at 14:30 the village was captured, after breaking the very hard resistance. Chenneux and Stoumont were also captured despite the unexpectedly tough enemy fighting spirit.
Then fuel difficulties forced the group to halt.
Cut-off from the bulk of the Division, the armoured group held out against an enemy who was being reinforced daily, inflicting heavy losses against the foe. Starting on the 20.12.1944 the attacks of the 3rd American tank division and the 30th American infantry division, up to 14 in one day, were repulsed. On the 22.12.1944, when the elements in Stoumont and Chenneux were threatened with encirclement, SS-Obersturmbannführer Peiper decided to pull back all forces to la Gleize. Now being crushed by the materiel weight of these enemy divisions, a heroic battle commenced where every meter of ground was contested. Inspired by the unbroken will to fight of the commander, all attacks were fought off. After all Panzers were immobilized, and the last rounds had been fired, SS-Obersturmbannführer Peiper received the order to break out on the evening of the 23.12.1944.
Taking along the still usable war materiel, the 800-man strong Kampfgruppe disengaged from the enemy unnoticed at 02:00 on the 24.12.1944. Over the course of 22 hours it marched through trackless, mountainous wooded terrain in enemy territory. With great physical effort the enemy frontline at Roglin Vale was overcome. Despite all enemy units in this sector being on alert and enemy fighter-bomber/artillery-spotter aircraft being on the lookout for Kampfgruppe Peiper, the enemy resistance here was broken in a surprise thrust launched with the courage of desperation. The better part of the Kampfgruppe swam across the Salm river and reached friendly territory on the opposite bank. In the process SS-Obersturmbannführer Peiper was wounded while at the head of his Kampfgruppe.
Through this surprise thrust by the armoured group into the depths of enemy territory, conducted under the command of SS-Obersturmbannführer Peiper, several enemy divisions were forced to relocate from the Aachen-Jülich area. These were then tied down by the resistance of the armoured group in such a way that permitted friendly formations located further south to succeed in acquiring additional territory towards the west.
The following was destroyed or captured:
Armour: 21 tanks shot-up, 6 tanks destroyed in close combat.
Guns: 50 heavy anti-tank guns and 12 Pak-Flak destroyed.
Aircraft: 2 fighter-bombers shot down, 12 aircraft captured and destroyed.
In Honsfeld an encircled American reconnaissance battalion with their equipment was captured. The latter included about 15 armoured cars and 35 armoured halftracks.
Captured or destroyed wheeled vehicles: 180 vehicles of all kinds.
Enemy losses: About 300 enemy dead, 450 prisoners (including 4 staff officers).
I ask that this well-deserved and exceedingly brave SS officer be awarded the Eichenlaub with Schwerter to the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes.”

Joachim Peiper, also known as Jochen Peiper, was a German officer in the Waffen-SS who rose to the rank of SS-Standartenfuehrer and became one of the most controversial and decorated commanders in the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler during the Second World War. Born on 30 January 1915 in Berlin-Wilmersdorf in the German Empire, he served initially as a personal adjutant to Reichsfuehrer-SS Heinrich Himmler before earning renown for his aggressive leadership on the Eastern Front, in Italy, and particularly during the Ardennes Offensive of 1944, where he commanded Kampfgruppe Peiper as part of the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler. Peiper received the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords for his actions in key battles, but his career was also marked by accusations of war crimes, including the killing of prisoners and civilians. After the war he was convicted in the Malmedy Trial, though his death sentence was later commuted and he was released in 1956. He lived quietly in West Germany and later France until his death on 14 July 1976 in Traves, where his house was destroyed in a fire widely believed to have been an arson attack by unknown assailants. Peiper embodied the image of the fanatical and charismatic SS panzer leader whose units were notorious for their brutality toward enemy soldiers and civilians alike.
Peiper came from a military family. His father, Woldemar Peiper, was a retired captain in the Imperial German Army, and his mother was Charlotte Schwartz Peiper. He had two brothers, Hans-Hasso and Horst. There is no available information on his religious affiliation. In April 1923 he joined the Hitler Youth and on 16 October 1933 he entered the SS as member number 132496, also holding NSDAP membership number 5508134. He underwent officer training at the SS-Junkerschule in Braunschweig and served as a platoon leader with the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler from 1936 onward. On 26 June 1939 he married Sigurd Hinrichsen in an SS ceremony, and the couple had three children: a son, Heinrich Hinrich Peiper, and two daughters, Elke and Silke. By 1938 Peiper had become an adjutant on Himmler's personal staff, a position that kept him close to the highest levels of the SS leadership and allowed him to observe the planning of major operations.
Peiper's first combat experience came during the Western Campaign of 1940, when he returned briefly from staff duties to lead a company in the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler and earned both classes of the Iron Cross for his performance in France. After the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 he served on the Eastern Front with the division, taking part in the fighting around Mariupol, Rostov, and Taganrog. By early 1943 he had been promoted to SS-Sturmbannfuehrer and commanded the third battalion of the second SS-Panzergrenadier Regiment. His aggressive style of leadership, marked by rapid advances and close-quarters combat, soon drew attention during the German counteroffensive in the Third Battle of Kharkov.
It was during the desperate fighting to recapture Kharkov in February and March 1943 that Peiper earned the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 9 March 1943. His battalion was ordered to relieve the encircled 320th Infantry Division, which was retreating westward through deep snow and blizzards under constant Soviet pressure. Peiper personally led his grenadiers in savage hand-to-hand fighting against a Soviet ski battalion, hacking through enemy lines in sub-zero temperatures to break the encirclement. At the village of Krasnaya Polyana his troops engaged in room-to-room combat and discovered that a German medical detachment in their rearguard had been massacred and mutilated. Despite these horrors, Peiper's men pushed forward with ferocious determination, secured vital bridgeheads, and successfully extracted the battered infantry division along with its sick and wounded. His personal courage, including the close-quarters destruction of enemy armor, proved decisive in this sector and earned him the highest German bravery award at the time.
Later in 1943 Peiper took command of SS-Panzer-Regiment 1 of the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler during the defensive battles around Zhytomyr in the winter of 1943-1944. As Soviet forces launched a massive offensive west of Kiev, he directed a series of aggressive night counterattacks in knee-deep snow and freezing conditions. His panzers penetrated up to thirty kilometers into the Soviet rear, overran the field headquarters of four enemy divisions, and claimed more than two thousand Soviet dead in relentless tank duels and infantry clashes lit by flares and burning vehicles. These actions helped stall the Soviet advance and stabilize the German front, leading to the award of the Oak Leaves to his Knight's Cross on 27 January 1944. After a period of operations in northern Italy, including the disarming of Italian units and the incident at Boves in September 1943, Peiper returned to the Eastern Front and later assumed command of the first SS-Panzergrenadier Regiment.
Peiper's most famous exploit came during the Ardennes Offensive in December 1944, when he commanded Kampfgruppe Peiper within the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler as part of the sixth Panzer Army. The battle group, equipped with Panther and Panzer IV tanks plus the heavy Tiger II tanks of the 501st SS Heavy Panzer Battalion, formed the armored spearhead tasked with racing westward to seize Meuse River bridges and reach Antwerp. Advancing more than fifty kilometers in the opening days despite fuel shortages and bitter cold, Peiper's forces overran American positions at Losheimergraben, captured bridges and fuel depots at Stavelot and Buellingen in house-to-house fighting, and pushed deep into the Ardennes Forest. Isolated near La Gleize after supply lines were cut, his men held out in the ruins of villages under constant air and artillery attacks before destroying their remaining equipment and breaking out on foot. Leading roughly eight hundred survivors through enemy territory in a grueling march back to German lines, Peiper achieved the deepest penetration of the entire offensive. For this audacious command under extreme adversity he received the Swords to his Knight's Cross on 11 January 1945.
Following the collapse of Germany in May 1945, Peiper was captured by American forces and became a central figure in the Malmedy Trial, where he and other members of the Leibstandarte were accused of war crimes related to the killing of American prisoners during the Ardennes campaign. Sentenced to death, he saw his sentence commuted amid controversies over the trial procedures and was released from prison in December 1956 after serving eleven years. He subsequently worked in the automobile industry and in 1972 moved to the small village of Traves in eastern France, where he lived quietly under the pseudonym Rainer Buschmann and worked as a translator. On the night of 14 July 1976 an unknown group set fire to his isolated house, and Peiper perished in the blaze at the age of sixty-one. His death remains officially unsolved but is widely regarded as the result of revenge by former resistance fighters or others seeking retribution for his wartime actions. Peiper's legacy continues to divide historians, who view him alternately as a brilliant but ruthless panzer commander or as a symbol of the Waffen-SS's crimes during the Second World War.
