On 10 May 1943 he was decorated with the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. Three days later, while commanding the 164th Infantry Division, he surrendered to the British forces in Tunisia, with the 164th Infantry earning the distinction of being "the last major German formation in North Africa to lay down its arms".
