Lindner’s Knight’s Cross recommendation reads as follows…
“Battles near Arnhem. Divisional commander showed great devotion to duty in the foremost line. He deployed his reserve for a deliberate counterattack on his own initiative. This counterattack pushed back the enemy and prevented them from achieving their intended breakthrough towards the north. Request for award endorsed. Generalmajor Lindner is a fearless leader of men even in the midst of fierce combat.”
