Überlieferung und Kontext
Company A, 707th Tank Battalion was part of Task Force Crater and Combat Group Fleig, which moved south through Kahla along the Saale on 13 April 1945. This makes Hostrup a command-level person in a directly involved unit; personal presence at Walpersberg is not independently proven.
