Fiebig’s Knight’s Cross recommendation reads as follows…
“Generalmajor Fiebig has distinguished himself through prudent leadership and outstanding devotion to duty during the defensive battle between the Rhine and Maas rivers in the time period 08.02.-22.02.1945. He and his Division have defeated all enemy breakthrough attempts, which were conducted with massive artillery, tank and air support. Often fighting in the foremost line, he was a shining example of bravery and readiness for his troops.
An example of this took place on the 08.02.1945. On this day, following a six-hour drumfire, major enemy infantry and tank forces overran the remnants of the friendly Bataillone that were located in the centre of the fighting. In response Generalmajor Fiebig personally led 2 reserve Bataillone against the enemy, and despite their great superiority in tanks and artillery he was able to bring them to a halt just before they reached the firing positions of the friendly artillery.
When the enemy broke through this position at midday on the 09.02.1945, Generalmajor Fiebig defended his divisional command post with his staff. He held the hill near Kleve (a decisive point for the fighting in the area) against all infantry and tank attacks until reinforcements arrived. Through this decision he prevented the imminent enemy breakthrough.
On the 10.02.1945 Generalmajor Fiebig prevented an enemy armoured breakthrough along the road from Kleve to Goch via counterattacks with hastily assembled forces from his staff and the supply troops. Personally fighting in the foremost line, he established the preconditions for the creation of a new defensive line at a critical location by this action. His independent decision to counterthrust delayed the enemy march from Kleve by at least 24 hours.”
