Overview:
With the Soviet Army firmly established on the Oder River and threatening Berlin, Hitler was still obsessed with taking the offensive elsewhere. Hitler decided to launch an attack to create a buffer zone between the Soviet forces near the Danube River and the Nagykanizsa oil fields. Operation Fruehlingserwachen (The Awakening of Spring) began on the night of March 5th. General Tolbukhin's main force was hit hard, and the fighting was fierce. For the next several days, the Germans ground forward adding divisions as they went. German armor battered away at the Soviet right flank where, on the 14th, General Wohler threw in his last reserve formation, built out of the 6th SS Panzer Division and fielding 200 tanks and self-propelled guns, in one final desperate push toward the Danube.Attacker: German (SS) (SS-Panzer Division 6)
Defender: Russian (35th Guards Rifle Corps/23rd Tank Corps)
