Date Original German Wehrmachtbericht wording Direct English translation
31 March 1944 Südwestlich Proskurow sind weiterhin erbitterte Angriffs- und Abwehrkämpfe im Gange. Dabei hat sich die ostpreußische 1. Infanteriedivision unter Führung des Generalmajors v. Krosigk besonders bewährt.[5] Fierce offensive and defensive battles are still in progress southwest Proskurov. Here the East Prussian 1 Infantry Division under the command of Major-General v. Krosigk has particularly proven itself.
