Lt Neumeyer (GD) at Krottingen, 23rd October 1944

[Aragorn1963]

I'm currently working on a scenario for a wargame on the action of Leutnant Neumeyer of the Grossdeutschland division in Lithuania, on the 23rd of October 1944. Neumeyer supported an attack East of the city of Krottingen with three Panthers. The main force existed of elements of recon units of the GD. Neumeyer won his KC on this day.

It is very hard to find information about this small scaled battle. Can anyone perhaps tell me more about it, or tell me where more information can be found?

Otherwise you could do a tracing request:

The WaSt = Wehrmachtauskunftsstelle. Propably you get a copy of the personal record of him. There should be a short description for the KC sugguest. Or you can ask the german archive of military:

Hi Maverick,

Yes, I found the picture. Thank you. Not sure whether the links can be of use. The information I'm looking for is more related to the tactical situation, composition of the Kampfgruppe and the battle itself. But thank you nevertheless for your kindness to reply.
