During the winter of 1941/42 Kampfgruppe Haase (consisting of 2 Kompanien from the Pionier-Lehr-Bataillon 2) was assigned the task of guarding the Ugra train station and the 5 kilometre distant Ugra bridge starting on the 14.02.1942. In spite of the growing enemy superiority it succeeded in fulfilling this task.

In this battle, from the 24.02.1942, Kampfgruppe Haase would be fully surrounded by the enemy. However it still managed to repel 12 strong enemy attacks by both day and night, many of these in bitter close combat. In this combat it also managed to launch bold counterthrusts of its own, capturing prisoners whose statements yielded valuable information for the leadership of the 4. Armee.

This action, conducted in the rear of the Armee, succeeded in holding a key point while also preventing the union of two enemy groups coming from different directions. Throughout all these weeks of combat Haase significantly contributed to the success of his unit, and was decorated with the Knight’s Cross in recognition.
