This resulted in the destruction of a further 7 tanks by his men.This deed by SS-Obersturmführer Lipinski was of decisive importance insofar as he prevented the seizure of Sczecseny (located in the deep flank of the Korps) and thereby the cutting off of several German units.In addition to this, SS-Obersturmführer Lipinski also personally destroyed another 2 T-34s near Jaszbereny (Hungary) on the 15.11.1944.”
