Awarded for distinguishing himself on the 29.05.1944. On this day Wehrmann defended Lanuvio with his reinforced Feld-Ersatz-Bataillon. 3 against an Allied force that had the support of 50 tanks. He was able to successfully repulse all attempts to seize the place, and in the process his Bataillon was able to capture 10 prisoners and destroy 8 tanks with close-combat weapons. Wehrmann would be recognized appropriately for holding onto this key point of the German defensive scheme.
