The following newspaper excerpt (dated 10.03.1943) describes why von Malotki was awarded the Knight’s Cross…

“Oberleutnant v. Malotki conducted a decisive counterthrust south of Lake Ladoga right as strong enemy forces were trying to roll up friendly positions after they had penetrated the line. He threw the Bolsheviks back at the head of a handful of Grenadiers and brought the main battle line back into friendly hands.”
