✦ DISTINGUISHED SERVICE CROSS ✦
Charley H. Von Behren
First Lieutenant · Field Artillery · Class 30 (1942)
First Lieutenant Charley Henry Von Behren FA 30-1942 was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for actions on 11 September 1944 while serving with the 733d Tank Destroyer Battalion, 3d Armored Division in Neufchateau, France. Realizing that the success of the regimental attack might depend upon the elimination of the strong point, Lieutenant Von Behren worked his way across almost fifty yards of open terrain swept by withering machine gun and small arms fire to a point overlooking the enemy position. Armed only with a carbine he rushed forward to the entrance of the emplacement, killed the hostile machine gun crew and captured twelve supporting riflemen. He was subsequently killed in action on 17 January 1945.
