On the night of 30.09./01.10.1943 two Soviet regiments created a bridgehead on the western bank of the Dnieper about 30 km west of Dnepropetrovsk. In response Oberstleutnant Laengenfelder took his men and launched a counterattack, capturing Tritussaja and eliminating the Soviet forces in the bridgehead. For this act he would be awarded the Knight’s Cross.
