Awarded for actions in the Demyansk pocket. Sometime during the early fighting for the pocket Major Graf von der Goltz made the independent decision to throw the Soviets out of some recently lost battle positions with only a few hastily assembled soldiers. The success of this action ensured that the line Wjasowka—Dedno was held and prevented the Soviets from penetrating into the Demyansk perimeter. This outstanding action was of great importance for the continued combat in this sector.
