As reflect in the entries contained within his Soldbuch, he was the recipient of numerous awards, including the Black Grade Wound Badge (30 June 1942), the Iron Cross II Class (20 July 1942), the Eastern Front Medal (12 September 1942), the General Assault Badge (10 June 1943), the Iron Cross I Class (20 September 1943), the Silver Grade Wound Badge (21 August 1944) and, most notably, the Knight’s Cross (recorded as 24 August 1944 in the Soldbuch, but also credited on 23 August in records). The latter was awarded for heroic actions on the Eastern Front, where Friedel, at the helm of the last remaining StuG supporting troops of 212. Infanterie-Division near the Lithuanian\/Soviet broder, single-handedly annihilated a company of Soviet armour which was in the process of overrunning a German position, prompting Red Army forces to flee. Friedel subsequently helped to hold the position until the arrival of reinforcements. Records also indicate that Friedel received the German Cross in Gold (19 July 1944), but no entry for the decoration is found in the Soldbuch offered.

Infanterie-Division, at the time supported by the surviving Sturmgeschütze of the 232. Sturmgeschütz-Brigade, stood at the Lithuanian border. On this day the Soviets launched a massive assault near Sventupe that succeeded in penetrating the German line along a broad front, and the weakness of the German infantry meant that the Soviets were soon able to pour tanks and motorized infantry through the gap. Their distant objective was Memel and the Baltic sea, a move which would have cut off Heeresgruppe Nord completely. However at this critical moment Wachtmeister Friedel counterattacked the Soviet flank on his own initiative. Along with his Zug he shot up numerous tanks and trucks from the Soviet column, and the shock effect from this furious riposte forced the remainder to flee. Wachtmeister Friedel would go on to hold the newly reconquered frontline with the handful of Grenadiers at hand until reinforcements arrived.
