QUOTE

Teodorini commanded the 6th Cavalry Division during mopping up operations of the Soviet Eltigen beachhead in the Kuban in 1943; his Division counted over 1,200 dead on the battlefield and captured some 1,570 prisoners along with a cache of equipment such as 38 tanks and 25 antitank guns, many of which were subsequently pressed into Romanian service. Teodorini went on to command the 8th Motorised Cavalry Division. Teodorini's award is cited in Romanian sources but not in German records; this is the elusive "17" possible recipient mentioned by Mark Axworthy. While Axworthy reports him winning his Ritterkreuz the same time as Mociulschi, another source suggests he had won it in September 1943, adding Oak Leaves for the Eltigen operation.
