DP0151P. Hubes Pocket, Kamenez-Podolsk, Russia, 26th March - 6th April, 1944 by David Pentland.

Among those encircled in the pocket were the men and guns of Sturmgeschutz Brigade 301. During the breakout, through two Soviet Tank Armies and across four rivers the Sturmgeschutz cleared the way for the infantry and others to pass through. Special mention was given to the heroic actions of Hauptmann Sekirka, the brigade commander, and Wachtmeister Walter Feibig. By the time 1st Panzer Armee had reached German lines Feibig had a personal tally of over 50 tanks destroyed.
