Siege of Kunduz The Siege of Kunduz took place in 2001 during the War in Afghanistan . After the fall of Mazar - i - Sharif on November 9 , the focus of the Northern Alliance advance shifted towards the city of Kunduz , which was the last remaining Taliban stronghold in northern Afghanistan . Forces under the command of General Mohammed Daud Daud linked up with American Special Forces advisers and advanced to the city of Taloqan , arriving outside the city on November 11 . There , Daud ' s forces attacked before American airstrikes could be called in , quickly routing the Taliban and seizing control of the city . After routing the Taliban at Taloqan , Daud ' s forces moved to besiege Kunduz . They initially met heavy resistance , leading Daud to decide to entrench his forces around the city and use American air support to weaken the Taliban . For the next eleven days , American aircraft bombarded Taliban positions , destroying 44 bunker complexes , 12 tanks and 51 trucks as well as numerous supply dumps . Several thousand Taliban and Al Qaeda foreign fighters , along with agents of the Pakistani Inter - Services Intelligence and military personnel , were evacuated by Pakistan Army aircraft during the last three days of the siege , in an event that has been nicknamed the Airlift of Evil . On November 22 , Daud ' s forces captured the nearby town of Khanabad . With their position deteriorating , the Taliban forces inside Kunduz agreed to surrender on November 23 . After the Taliban surrender , there were reports of looting by Northern Alliance soldiers as well as reports of the executions of Taliban prisoners . Human rights bodies estimate that several hundred or several thousand captured prisoners died in or after transit to Sherberghan prison . The deaths have become known as the Dasht - i - Leili massacre . Allegations have been made , notably by columnist Ted Rall and Jamie Doran ' s 2002 documentary " " , that U . S . troops were involved . A July 2009 report in the " New York Times " caused United States President Barack Obama to order a probe into how the Bush administration handled calls for investigation of the massacre .

Erich Göstl Erich Göstl was a member of the Waffen SS who was awarded the Knight ' s Cross of the Iron Cross , which was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership . Göstl was born in Vienna on April 17 , 1925 . In World War II , he was a member of the 1st SS Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler during the Normandy Campaign where he was in the 6th Company , 1st SS Panzergrenadier Regiment , deployed near the French town of Tilly , a few kilometers from Caen . Then a 19 year old , Göstl was a machine gunner , manning an MG - 42 , defending his position against a British ( possibly Canadian ) attack . During heavy fighting he was shot in his left eye . Shrapnel then wounded him in his upper left arm . Undaunted he continued to fire and was then hit in the other eye , which " almost tore his head off " . Even then , completely blinded , he continued to return fire from his machine gun post , alone and shooting at what he could hear , as he was completely unable to see anything . He continued to hold out behind his machine gun and received another hit in his right cheek and nose area of his torn - up face . Göstl held until the enemy attack was ultimately repelled , but it is believed that only because of a jam in the machine gun was Göstl ' s machine gun silenced . His friend Elmar Bonn worked his way forward to him and with the help of some other men was able to bring him back to a safe position , while under fire . Throughout , he " was suffering horrible pain " and was bleeding heavily from the face . Göstl survived and was sent to a field hospital before being evacuated to Germany . He was in the school for the War Blind in Cerninpalast , Prague when he was awarded the Knight ' s Cross . Göstl ' s story was not used , or selected for propaganda purposes in Nazi Germany ; it has been speculated that this was due to the severity of his injuries , but this has never been substantiated by documentation . As a result the account was not widely known during the final years of the war . His regimental commander , Standartenfuhrer Albert Frey described awarding him the Cross and his action as follows ( translated from German ) ; Göstl later described his actions as , " only doing my duty " . He would also say of staying at his position , " I couldn ' t do anything else at the time " . Along with all Axis military personnel at the end of hostilities , he became a prisoner of war and was released in April 1946 . He went on , with great assistance from his wife , to earn a Doctorate Law Degree from the University of Vienna . He died , at the age of 65 , on October 28 , 1990 , in Sankt Jakob , Austria .
