Knight’s Cross: “During the heavy fighting south of Kharkov Hauptmann Bieg managed to repulse the attacks by overwhelmingly vast enemy forces over the course of 15 consecutive major battle days. Despite being painfully wounded he remained with his Grenadiers and stood steadfast alongside them even though they were all being threatened by the Bolsheviks from the sides and rear. In the following days he and his brave unit fought their way through the enemy encirclement ring and occupied new blocking positions to the rear, once again holding these successfully against all the enemy’s furious attacks.”
