Awarded on:

January 14th, 1945

Awarded for distinguishing himself during the Second Battle of Courland in the most difficult phase of the battle, on the 19.11.1944. On this day a Soviet armoured wedge smashed through the boundary between the 31. Volksgrenadier-Division and the 32. Infanterie-Division, and threatened to split apart both armies of Heeresgruppe Kurland. However this development was averted largely on account of the efforts of General Hasse, who would be recognized appropriately for his actions here.
