How exactly was Josef Mengele injured in the SS Panzer division?

Question

I see everywhere that he was 'severely wounded' in the spring of 1943 while he served as a battalion medic, but I can't find anywhere what exactly happened to him.

Is it recorded anywhere? Does anybody know? Thanks!

I've looked through several sites and this is the best I can find, None of them say how he was wounded, only that he was.  

In January 1942, following an offensive deep behind Soviet lines, he is awarded the Iron Cross, First Class, the Black Badge for the Wounded and the Medal for the Care of the German People. Wounds received during this second campaign prevent Mengele returning to combat. He is posted instead to the office of race and resettlement in Berlin and promoted to captain
