History:
During the fighting NW of Newel in 1943, Hauptmann Mickley led an outstanding thrust through a strong hostile position and smashed a Soviet regiment that was assembling for an attack. With this action he prevented an imminent breakthrough of the German frontline in this area, and so he was consequently awarded the Knight’s Cross.
On the 21.07.1944 Hauptmann Mickley and his Bataillon were fighting in a retreat battle west of Ostrow. Here they became encircled by the Soviets, and to make things worse they lacked proper AT weapons and were almost out of ammunition. The only retreat route was over a bridge occupied by Soviet tanks. With his 200 combat capable troops and a great number of wounded, he used the cover of darkness to fall in alongside a Soviet march column that was moving towards the bridge. Just before reaching the crossing the Germans dropped the ruse and went into the attack, with Mickley at the head of the forward Kompanie. Utilizing the enemy’s confusion, they managed to storm the bridge. Thereafter Mickley and his troops were able to get the whole Bataillon across (including all the wounded and vehicles) before finally destroying the bridge after all friendly forces had passed over.
For managing to extract his entire Bataillon from the jaws of annihilation in such an outstanding manner, Mickley would receive the Oakleaves to his Knight’s Cross.
In 1944, Hubert Mickley fought during the important battle of the bulge, in which he died during combat.
