However, my research had a sad ending as I learned that a few months after earning his Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen as an Artillery man with the Infantry (!) (the award document was signed by one of the Infantry regiments of the Division)… he was Killed in Action on August 22, 1943 westwards of Tichotzky (Izium, Kharkiv) in Ukraine at the age of 29. His remains are still not transferred to a war cemetery thus still laying in his fieldgrave.
During his service, he earned the: Iron Cross 2nd Class, Infantry Assault Badge, Krim shield, War Merit Cross 2nd class with Swords, Winter War Medal, Austrian Annexation medal, Sudetenland medal.

Kompanie/ Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 2 of the 2. Fallschirmjäger-Division.
Awarded for his actions at the Corinth canal on the 26.04.1941. After he and his Zug were dropped south of the canal they stormed into action and quickly eliminated an anti-aircraft battery at the south end of the bridge. They were, however, unable to prevent the demolition of this bridge. With this Teusen and the rest of his Kompanie (led by Hauptmann Schirmer) began their attack into Corinth. Teusen, with the help of two captured self-propelled AA guns, pushed into the city. There he met with Schirmer again and pressed on towards Tolos, taking hostile positions and destroying their rearguard. Teusen was wounded at this stage of the battle but remained with his troops. As the battle continued to go in the Germans’ favour, Teusen sent an English speaking Feldwebel to persuade the British to surrender. With a little bit of bluffing this attempt was successful, and Teusen’s Zug accepted the surrender of 72 British officers and 1200 men. (Source: TracesofWar)

Ritterkreuz: “SS-Hauptscharführer Maringgele demonstrated extraordinary bravery and prudence as a leader during the fighting for Fortress Budapest. Over the course of 37 assault/patrol operations, some of which were conducted far behind enemy lines, he inflicted significant losses on the enemy and obtained much valuable reconnaissance. Through his bold operations (their success made possible solely due to his leadership and personal example) Maringgele was able to firm up the front of his Regiment time and again, and their success contributed significantly to the ability of the pocket’s frontline in this area to be maintained despite the strong enemy superiority. During the ordered breakout from the Budapest pocket Maringgele took control of a group of 60 men, and he led them deep through enemy territory in an exemplary manner. With these men he was the first soldier from the pocket to reach the German lines already on the 13.02.1945. SS-Hauptscharführer Maringgele has been involved in well over 50 days of close combat.”
