In October 1943, Bachmann got his first command of a unit, the 3. Kompanie / 10.Panzer-Regiment/Division "Frundsberg".
After a short training, Bachmann was put in command of 5.Umschulungs-Lehrgang für Sturmgeschütze and was promoted to Obersturmführer in November 1944. After the Battle of the Bulge, his unit was incorporated in Armygroup G and deployed in Operation Nordwind, together with 6.Gebirgs-Division "Nord". Bachman saw action for the last time in Pommerania with 1.Kompanie near Christienenberg where he put a number of T-34 tanks out of action.
