Here follows an abbreviated Knight’s Cross recommendation for Oberst Neibecker…

“Oberst Neibecker has shown outstanding personal bravery while fighting at the head of both infantry and Panzer forces. In an independent action, he encircled the village of Alexandrowka by crossing over the frozen Ssamara river and penetrated into the northern part of the village. Fighting at the spearhead of his Kampfgruppe, this important cornerstone was taken in a bold action despite the great enemy superiority. The capture of this important strongpoint was of great importance for the continued fighting in the sector of Gruppe Mackensen.”
