Knight’s Cross: “On the night of the 15./16.02.1944 the Grenadier-Regiment 162 attacked the Soviet bridgehead over the Narew river north of Kriwasoo. After achieving a penetration with a small assault unit, Oberleutnant Bergerhoff found himself at the head of his Bataillon after its commander and all other officers had become casualties. He nonetheless succeeded in making contact with the left neighbour, and he led his Bataillon into the small penetration area he had previously made. His bravery and decisiveness on this night meant that the attack finally came to fruition as dawn broke. A Soviet regimental command post was captured, two enemy battalions were smashed and numerous infantry guns and heavy mortars were captured.”
