Unreliable source[edit]

The article cites from The Leibstandarte volume IV/1, Lehmann/Tiemann in the following paragraph:

He was awarded the Knights Cross for the following action: "...On 5 March 1944, all hell broke loose [in Manatschin, Ukraine]...At the height of the fighting, our old comrade SS-Hauptstürmführer Grätz (the Chef of the 18. [Panzerjäger]/Panzergrenadierregiment 1) showed up. At that time, he was serving as part of the officer reserve. He had pulled together the men of the Bäckerei Kompanie and retreating soldiers from other units to form a fighting force. Supported by only two broken-down Panzers stuck in Manatschin, Hauptstürmführer Grätz was able not only to repulse the attack, but to lead his "Kampfgruppe Grätz" in a counterattack. They prevented the Russians from making a further advance across the march route to the south. For his actions, he was awarded the Ritterkreuz."

I would like to rephrase this per WP:MILMOS; please see Waffen-SS unit histories as to why these should not be considered wp:rs in the context of military history.

Please let me know if there are any objections. K.e.coffman (talk) 22:56, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
