A head-scratcher for several of our better-informed members!

Another scion of the House of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, Rittmeister der Res. Gustav-Albrecht 5. Fürst zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg (b. 28 Feb 1901) served as Ic 23. Panzer-Division. Awarded Deutsches Kreuz in Silber 18 August, 1944. Missing since June 1944, officially declared dead 29 November, 1969.

His German Wikipedia page reports him "seit dem 24. Juni 1944 bei Orscha in Russland vermisst."

QUERY: what was he doing in/near Orsha - well within HGr Mitte's sector - when 23. Panzer-Division was serving under 8. Armee/HGr Südukraine in northern Roumania at the time? Secondment? Fact-finding mission? Visiting relatives/friends?
