Bunzelwitz Bewegung, Gudrun Bewegung question

At the Battle of La Malmaison 1917 the Germans had these manoeuvres as contingencies. I gather that Bunzelwitz was a battle in the 7 years' War so I assume the name is an analogy with something during the battle but what about Gudrun?

just a guess but somebody in the German staff was rather fond of names from the Nibelungenlied they used several of them. So maybe here again even if Gudrun is a very minor character.
