I can only remember 2 instances of someone claiming the officers "disappeared" during battle. One was at the battle of Smolensk/Yelna where a soldier stated that he and his fellows were abandoned by their officer during a German attack. The other one was of a young soldier that was trapped in a ravine with his unit while being mortared to pieces and the officers disappeared.
Both were read on the internet. I'll see if I can find them.

That's all right, I also have the habit of misplacing my extremities
I suppose those officers you mean (I accept those appear in all armies) would have a very short life expectancy
Now keep digging!
