Knight’s Cross: “In March 1945, near the Austrian capital city of Vienna, Sturmbannführer der Waffen-SS Hans Hauser led a small but highly experienced Kampfgruppe into defensive positions in the village of Münchedorf. Their mission was to defend the German homeland and slow the advancing Soviets moving west. Unaware of Hauser’s defenses, 3 unsupported Soviet T-34 tanks approached the German positions. At the foot of the bridge that led into the village, the lead tank was destroyed and made the bridge impassable. The two remaining tanks withdrew under a deluge of small arms fire.
After strengthening their positions, the Kampfgruppe was attacked a second time shortly before midnight. Artillery barrages and Katyusha rockets pulverized the village and defensive positions that killed Hauser’s adjutant and orderly officer. The Soviets launched their second attack, in which another T-34 was destroyed. News came that Hauser’s Kampfgruppe was holding a gap that separated the two SS Regiments Der Führer and Deutschland, both belonging to the 2. SS-Panzer-Division Das Reich. Hauser’s Kampfgruppe was ordered to hold the gap for 3-4 days to prevent a Soviet penetration and allow the Division to regroup.
Knowing the Soviets would attempt to exploit the gap, the defensive positions were reinforced and a third Soviet attack by T-34 tanks successfully thwarted. After repeated but futile Soviet attacks that drained the strength of the German defenders, the Soviets finally managed to gain a foothold on the village of Münchedorf. Completely outnumbered, Hauser’s Kampfgruppe had lost half the village by the fourth day. Having provided the division the time needed to regroup, Hauser was ordered to disengage and withdraw to friendly lines. Reporting to the Der Führer regimental commander, Obersturmbannführer der Waffen-SS Otto Weidinger, Hauser was placed in command of I. Bataillon after his predecessor had been killed in action. Weidinger would subsequently Hauser for the Knight’s Cross in recognition for his gallant stand at Münchedorf.”

He destroyed 2 tanks, but this initial incursion was soon followed up by a much heavier assault. Thus followed a fierce battle that lasted the whole day. On one occasion, he knocked out a Soviet command tank from which the enemy commander escaped, only to be hit by a pistol shot by Henke. By the end of the day he had destroyed a total of 21 tanks and 11 AT guns. For his notable success, without much friendly support at that, he was later presented with the Knight’s Cross.

Knight’s Cross: “During January 1944 the 7. Infanterie-Division was deployed east of Pinsk. In this context Hauptmann Brunner received orders to clear the village of Bessedki of the Soviets. Since no more time for reconnaissance was available he immediately set out with 2 Kompanien into an attack. However his troops appeared to be no longer combat capable, having been weakened by 4 days of heavy retreat battles, the bitter cold and 2 days of meagre sustenance. Even so they followed their commander’s example, and the majority of the village was captured with the help of Sturmgeschütze.
Hauptmann Brunner and his men went on to repel 4 attacks against Bessedki on the following night, and the Germans remained in firm control of the village on the next day (the 15.01.1944). However the Soviets were determined to capture Bessedki and use it as a jump-off point to interdict a nearby road/railway link. On the 17.01.1944 alone they attacked the village 6 times in both day and night attacks, but the defenders held firm. On the morning of that day Hauptmann Brunner personally led a counterthrust into the flank of a Soviet attack and ejected the attackers from a housing group that was partially outside of the village.”
Oakleaves: “While serving in the battle area west of Rozan, Hauptmann Brunner conducted two bold counterthrusts against the strongly attacking enemy forces, and by doing so he held a village of decisive importance for the continuation of the combat in the area. In the process a broken-in Soviet battalion and 2 tanks were destroyed. Two days later he once again served as the soul of the resistance during the defense against a renewed Bolshevik onslaught.”
