Awarded for distinguishing himself as the commander of a Hetzer Kompanie during February 1945, as detailed in the following chronology…

10.02.1945: Dallmeier’s Kompanie supports attack on Thomaswaldau during the evening, destroying 6 enemy tanks in the process.
13.02.1945: Dallmeier’s Kompanie supports the breakthrough of Erpenbeck’s Bataillon from Birkenbrück to Paritz.
17.02.1945: Soviets thrown out of Siegersdorf with the help of Dallmeier’s Hetzers.
20.02.1945: Dallmeier supports recapture of Hennersdorf-Ost.
21.02.1945: Dallmeier supports capture of Kol.Hennersdorf.

Another notable action was when 14 enemy tanks thrusted from Wünschendorf towards the south. The two Hetzers of Dallmeier’s Kompanie destroyed 7 tanks out of this attacking force. Dallmeier would go on to distinguish himself during the recapture of Hennersdorf and the destruction of Soviet tanks in the graveyard north of Lauban.
