Historical Context
The 83. Infanterie-Division was raised in December 1939 and initially deployed in the Western Campaign of 1940 before being transferred to the Eastern Front in 1941. During the harsh winter fighting of 1941/42, the division held positions under constant Soviet pressure, where heavy casualties were sustained.
Gefreiter Reuter’s wounding on 29 January 1942 places him at the height of these brutal battles, where frostbite, artillery barrages, and infantry assaults took a devastating toll on German divisions.
The Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz was awarded for the first wound sustained in combat, marking Reuter’s sacrifice in one of the most grueling phases of the war.
