Knight's Cross: "“In the evening hours of the 27.03.1945 the enemy penetrated into Nyirad with strong infantry and tank forces. To prevent a further advance of the enemy towards the south, which would lead them into the flank of the divisions of the IV. SS-Panzer-Korps and the Kavallerie-Korps, friendly infantry were dispatched to the southern edge of the woods south of Nyirad. Major Fleischer and his weak Heeres-Flak-Art. Abt. 314 had the mission of guarding against broken-through enemy tanks coming in from the north from their own positions along both sides of the road at Ujderogs. They were to later pull back alongside the friendly infantry. But following the retreat of the friendly infantry Major Fleischer decided to continue to hold his positions on his own initiative, despite the lack of infantry support and the toughly prosecuted enemy attacks. Through his outstanding personal bravery he inspired his men to hold on time and again. His unit ultimately destroyed 3 enemy tanks and 2 enemy battalions. By this he enabled the divisions of the IV. SS-Panzer-Korps and the Kavallerie-Korps to withdraw. I recommend Major Fleischer for the award of the Knight’s Cross to the Iron Cross.”

"During their thrust from southern Pomerania towards the Stettin Lagoon the enemy reached the Baltic Sea south of Bad Bievenow, and by doing so they encircled a group of German troops. However this group fought their way through to the Baltic Sea coast and created a bridgehead in the Horst area. The Bolsheviks immediately started an attack against this group in order to crush it once and for all. At the same time our Kampfgruppe launched its own attack in order to force a breakthrough towards the west.Within this context the Fahnenjunker-Regiment of the Artillerieschule 2 under the command of Major Buchenau had the mission of breaking through the enemy encirclement ring. The officer candidates had neither artillery nor heavy weapons available, but they fought fiercely even so. They fought through the enemy blocking fire, overpowered the enemy infantry and smashed a strong anti-tank gun blocking position. The young soldiers then chose to not take the time to reorder their units, instead they thrust further towards the west. They captured a village and also seized an enemy battery consisting of six 12.2 cm artillery pieces. On the next morning they captured another village, and by doing so they reached the ordered attack objective.The exemplary fighting spirit of these officer candidates enabled the Kampfgruppe to break through to our Stettin bridgehead while taking along all wounded soldiers and attached civilians. During this fighting they captured or destroyed 3 tanks, 4 armoured cars, 40 anti-tank guns, 6 artillery pieces, 15 super-heavy mortars, numerous anti-tank rifles, uncounted numbers of machine-guns and small arms as well as a large quantity of trucks and motorcycles.”
