In mid-July 1943 Hauptmann Hauser and his II./Grenadier-Regiment 35 were deployed to guard the left flank and retreat road (Kirejkowo—Sereditschi) of the 25. Panzergrenadier-Division from Soviet forces attacking from the direction of Nogaja. Despite very strong opposing pressure, the Bataillon was able to master all crises it came up against and fulfill its vital mission for the Division. Hauptmann Hauser would be awarded the Knight’s Cross for his particularly flexible and successful combat leadership during this battle.
