Overview:

After the initial assault by the Soviet 108th Guards Rifle Division failed to capture the Városmajor on January 1, the 320th Rifle Division, supported by a half dozen armored vehicles, was ordered to try to seize the City Park. The main defenders of the Városmajor, the Vannay Battalion, had by this time erected three major lines of defense within the park. The Vannay units were supported by elements of Kampfgruppe Europa, headquartered in the Baár-Madas School located just to the north of the Városmajor Park.
Attacker: Russian (320th Rifle Division, 1897th Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment and 31st Autonomous Flamethrower Battalion)
Defender: Hungarian / German (SS) (Hungarian 1st and 2nd Companies, Vannay Battalion and German SS-Freiwilligen-Kavallerie-Division 22 "Maria Theresia"/Hungarian Central Hungarist Combat Group/Kampfgruppe Europa)
