On 20 April 1945, during the crossing of the river IDICE he was again at a forward OP where he was under fire from Nebelwerfers. The building used for this OP was destroyed. Despite this he continued directing accurate and effective fire, thereby inflicting severe casualties on the enemy and facilitating the infantry advance.
