During the battle of Stalingrad he significantly contributed to the successful defense against enemy counterattacks through his personal bravery and decisiveness. The Bolsheviks commenced a furious attack with strong infantry forces that had the support of numerous tanks. Their aim was to break through the German blocking position to the north of the city. Obergefreiter Becker persevered throughout the fierce hostile fire while serving at his gun, and in the heavy fighting he destroyed 13 enemy tanks (most of which were heavy types). He smashed local enemy infantry penetrations with well laid fire. Thus, within a short time, Obergefreiter Becker destroyed a total of 41 Soviet tanks and decisively contributed to the great successes of his Division.”

Infanterie-Division. Good condition. Postcardsize.
Knight’s Cross: “Major Mulzer fought with his Pionier-Bataillon in the sector of the 95. Infanterie-Division during the fighting for the Orel salient in mid-1943. In this time he and his men cleaned up numerous Soviet penetrations via energetic counterattacks and, on one occasion, he recaptured a commanding height in an attack launched on his own initiative. Mulzer would receive the Knight’s Cross for these actions.”
Oakleaves: “Near the end of 1943 the Pionier-Bataillon 195 occupied a defensive sector west of Bobruisk. Following an artillery barrage the Soviets attacked this sector with significant forces on a broad front. With his last reserves, namely soldiers from his staff as well as some drivers, Major Mulzer was able to eject the Soviet soldiers from his position and bring the attack in his sector to a halt. Meanwhile however the Soviets had managed to break through in the right neighbouring sector, and from here they threatened to roll up the whole Division’s frontline. Mulzer quickly recognized this danger and, assembling as many soldiers as could be spared, he launched a flank attack against this new opposing force. After a short but violent battle, the Soviets here fled after having suffered heavy losses. Major Mulzer then threw up a temporary defensive front and was able to hold it against all new hostile breakthrough attempts until the arrival of reinforcements. Through his bravery and decisiveness, Mulzer had thus averted a great danger for the whole German frontline west of Bobruisk. He would thus be awarded the Oakleaves to his Knight’s Cross.”
