    While searching information about lithuanian 10th f. battalion, I've found interesting document. It's from postwar KGB inquest of lithuanian soldier, who served in eastern front.
    „ In that battle I was forced by pistol armed german to help injured german soldier, who was under heavy fire. I saved him. For that, probably, I got an award „Sturm apceitung“ – white oaktree wreth with gun and german hen on it.“
    January 1944, near Ilmen lake.

    My guess is that the Lithuanian soldier manufactured that story to avoid punishment/suspicion from the Soviet authorities.

    That's not the criteria for the award of the IAB is the first clue and he probably made up the part about being forced at pistol-point to help the wounded German.
