Erwin decides to abandon all the bodies they were unable to retrieve and list them as MIA. Dieter and Jurgen angrily act against this command and retrieve the body of their friend, and in doing so, lure several Titans to the Scout Regiment position. When a Titan swings at him, Ivan's body falls off Dieter's horse and is lost.
Dieter attempts to return Ivan's corpse
Right after, Jurgen is grabbed off his horse and despite Dieter switching to his omni-directional mobility gear in an attempt to save him, Jurgen is eaten right before Dieter is grabbed by a Titan. He is about to be eaten before Mikasa Ackermann kills it, saving him. Due to the Titans being drawn towards them, the Survey Corps are forced to dump bodies weighing down the carts in order to escape. After this incident, Levi confronts Dieter and hands him a Survey Corps badge saying it was Ivan's, causing Dieter to break down into tears. He is last seen on one of the carts returning to Wall Rose, holding the badge in his left hand with his head down.[1]
