Location Finding help!

[matteti]

I need help to locate the exact place on a map where a soldier was when he earned an award.

The event happened on 30 January 1945 during the Vistula-Oder Offensive. He was part of the 94 Guards Rifle Division (5th Shock Army, 1 Belarussian Front). At that time, some units were able to cross on the frozen Oder river near Kustrin and reach the western bank to capture Kienitz. We can read that some Tanks even crossed the Oder on January 31st.

My soldier was part of a Reconnaissance Company and I expect he would have been ahead of the main units. In the citation, it is mentioned that the events happened in the outskirts of the village Hohenwalde (Хохенвалде).

I looked on Google map and I found two villages/settlements called Hohenwalde in Germany near the Oder river. One is south-west of Kustrin (near Frankfurt on the Oder), the other is north-west of Kustrin, closer to Kienitz, but still far (probably 70km) from Kustrin.

So, which one of these two Hohenwalde villages would it be? Or might it be another one?

I have attached a image from Google maps that show the two villages with a line linking them by today's roads. We can also see Kustrin and the Oder river separating German and Polish territory. Also, there is a portion of a map of January 31, 1945 showing that 94 Guards Rifle Division was in Kienitz.

Is this normal for a reconnaissance company to be so far ahead of its division of attach (although the company is called a "separate" company)?

Thanks a lot for your valuable inputs!
