Awarded the Knight's Cross for the successful storming of Koslowo on 29.10.1942, thus contributing majorly to the success of Operation Michael. At 17:00 that day Wulf's regiment immediately attacked and broke into the village after a preceding aerial bombardment. The hitherto fierce resistance quickly disintegrated and the city fell, with the result that the Soviet bridgehead on the east bank of the Lowatj river was unhinged.
