Ci sono dubbi se la morte sia avvenuta per suicidio o in combattimento. La fonte che ne parla, riporta qualcosa che dà ragione ad entrambe le tesi, sostenendo sia stato un ultimo "attacco suicida". Qui riporto la citazione " Rommel’s Lieutenants: The Men Who Served the Desert Fox, France 1940 by Samuel W. Mitcham Jr.,Greenwood Publishing Group, 2006; pages 41-42, states: “His division was assigned to defend the entire sector covering the entire positions along the Landwehr Canal. During the next three days, Sickenius tried to hold his positions while the German defensive lines were pressed ever backward, toward the center of the city. Tempelhof Airport was overrun on 27 April and, on the morning of 28 April, Sickenius found himself surrounded in Goerlitzer Station. His main forces had already been destroyed and the Russians had pushed beyond him, toward the Fuehrer Bunker. Within their ammunition almost gone, Sickenius and a handful of survivors held out until late afternoon, although they knew that their position was doomed. General Sickenius then ordered the survivors to save themselves if they could; meanwhile, he and a handful of stalwart volunteers would launch a final suicide against the enemy to provide cover for their escaping comrades. The general himself charged forward firing a Schmieser machine pistol. A few moments later, Sickenius and his men were cut down by Soviet machine gun. segnalo anche che in google books è possibile consultare integralmente i contenuti del libro di Mitcham relativi a Sickenius--Aleacido (4@fc) 01:19, 3 giu 2022 (CEST)
