Person in the context of liberation
Raymond E. Fleig
The 707th Tank Battalion AAR names Combat Group FLEIG as part of Task Force Crater and reports its movement through Kahla on 13 April 1945. FHSU identifies Captain Raymond Fleig with Company A, 707th Tank Battalion. The exact command assignment still needs confirmation from a clearer roster/order, so the identification remains medium-confidence.

Transmission and context
Direct Task Force Crater / Kahla movement relevance through Combat Group Fleig. Current evidence supports a strong candidate link between the Combat Group Fleig named in the AAR and Captain Raymond E. Fleig of Company A, 707th Tank Battalion; do not overstate as fully proven until an order or roster explicitly names him as combat group commander.
