Description

On December, 20 11-n Panzer Division has renewed the actions with the purpose to reject Russian for Chir. In the beginning approach developed successfully, but by the evening Russian have put strong impact on the right flank of a division, and came into rear to a 111th Panzer-Grenadier Regiment. The created dangerous position has been liquidated by forces of a tank regiment, thus Russian have lost ten tanks.

manded the SS’s police division. His IX SS Mountain Corps was holding Budapest with the weak 8th and 22nd SS Cavalry divisions and elements of the 13th Panzer Division, the 60th Panzergrenadier Division, and the 271st Volksgrenadier Division. The Hungarian I Corps, under the command of a former instructor of German at Hungary’s Ludovika Military Academy, General Iván Hindy, 54, fought alongside them. Altogether, the Axis had some 79,000 troops defending the city. It seemed, and the nature was up in arms against us. At night with 20 for November, 21 mercury in the thermometer has fallen up to a mark a minus of 20 degrees. Thawn for a day snow a captivity the bark has turned in ice. It is road, the connecting Golubinskaja from the highway, going along Don, became smooth as a mirror. Was terrible to think that to our heavy machines is necessary to climb up on this abrupt slope. But while business has not reached before yet. On a map of the American professor (and as consequence, on Japanese the same) is not true it is specified an arrangement of settlement with the name «Sovkhoz 79».

Death and burial ground of Balck, Georg Otto Hermann.

The most full description of battle in area of Sovkhoz (State Farm) «Red Star» or the same, – Sovkhoz 79, - was given by the American historian professor Russel H.S. Stolfi Schaulen, Fritjof (2003) (in German).

Zároveň byl jmenován do funkce velitele čety u své 2. roty. Ve funkci velitele čety však nezůstal dlouho, neboť necelý týden po jmenování do funkce byl jmenován dočasným pobočníkem velitele praporu.

The headquarters of the 48th Panzer Corps and the divisions under its command began to arrive in the Chir salient on 4 December 1942. The various individual elements of the 7th Air Force Infantry Division were attached to the 338th Infantry Division. The latter incorporated the air force infantry division's proposed sector into its own and placed the air force infantry battalions along quiet sections of its now quite extensive sector. For the time being the Corps had nothing whatever to throw against this enemy force. The only available 11th Panzer Division element was its reconnaissance battalion. This battalion, together with units attached to it and with a few heavy antiaircraft batteries stationed in the area, was given the mission of securing against a further enemy break-through, guarding the area along the eastwest road. The battalion once again, accomplished its mission successfully. He went on to elaborate that when he was a battalion commander he had somewhat retarded regimental commanders and took the actions he felt necessary within the framework of the (to him) obviously discernible general mission. He went on to explain that he was driven by the same spirit of action with virtually all of his superiors in his military career. When in the evening on November, 24 we have reached east coast of Don, from my division a little that remained.... Therefore Pauljus has decided to disband a division. The residuary officers and soldiers have been allocated on other infantry divisions.For those who does not know, I shall tell, that such name has the well-known novel Michael Sholokhov for whom he has received the Nobel Prize) After me to Schmidt there has arrived the commander army. Has rung out phone. From Osinovka reported the commander of XI Korp Shtreker. Immediately come to the chief of an army headquarters! General Pauljus already here, - has heard I voice Elhlepp on the other end of a wire.

On November, 21 about the midday I conducted Pauljus and Schmidt on air station in Golubinskaja. There there were only two "Shtorhs" which should deliver generals and their personal aide-de-camps to new command point. All other planes of a squadron of communication of an army headquarters were changed the place in Nizhne-Chirskaja. Shaking with me a hand at parting, Pauljus has added: On it the consent provided that one of the division commanders freed in the boiler will be appointed by my receiver has been given. Commanding army has agreed. As the German war effort collapsed in 1945, a seasoned Wehrmacht commander in Budapest battled Waffen-SS leaders as well as the Soviets Being in American to a captivity, the description of battle for Sovkhoz «Red Star» was given by the von Mellentin's chief – the commander 48th Panzer Korp general-leitenant von Knobelsdorff. I considered expedient that all three battle groups were under uniform command. It would strengthen their fighting capability in cases of approach Russian. I have decided day to discuss in the same it with command of an army group.
