Overview:

n late March of 1945, Sepp Dietrich launched his well-blooded 6th SS Panzer Armee against Tolbuhkin's Third Ukrainian Army. No sooner had Dietrich begun his attack than Tolbuhkin trumped him with an even greater offensive. In the ensuing melee, the Ukrainians crushed the heavily outnumbered SS. The survivors fell back, hoping to stem the Soviet drive toward Vienna. Dietrich ordered a Kampfgruppe led by Lt.-Col. Fritz Hagen to fall back to a blocking position astride the main Budapest-Vienna highway. In the midst of a spring snowstorm, Tolbuhkin's spearhead smashed head-on into Hagen's tank-supported light infantry screen.
