I found a little mysterium in Igaorns post on page 2 where tries to point out the tank strength of 6.Panzerarmee ...
Well , why does he count sPzAbt. FHH ( former 503 ) there as they where no part of 6.Panzerarmee or took part in "Frühlingserwachen" ???
They where in the Gran area at this time

Where exactly did I say in my post that sPz Abt. “Feldherrnhalle" was part of 6. Panzerarmee? On page 2 of this thread I posted Numeric strength of Heersgruppe Sud, dated 6 March 1945. Can you see the differense between 6. Panzerarmee and Heersgruppe Süd? Or do you deny that sPz Abt. “Feldherrnhalle" was part of Heersgruppe Süd?Jan-Hendrik wrote:I found a little mysterium in Igaorns post on page 2 where tries to point out the tank strength of 6.Panzerarmee ...

Because we are talking here about the events of the Balaton Lake Operation (German offensive + Soviet counteroffensive)and Vienna operation, which resulted in the defeat of the Heersgruppe Süd (including 6. Armee and 6. Panzerarmee) in Hungary & Austria.Jan-Hendrik wrote:OK , overread that . But why the tank strength of HGr. Süd while we are talking about "Frühlingserwachen" & 6.Panzerarmee ?

Re:
What kind of this 124 appendics, including detailed German manpower and equipment holding in these campaign ?Mark V. wrote:Well Erich, according to J.J.Fedorowicz Pub.Erich wrote:the new English translation will have about 100 photos and more text than the Munin verlag edition, so who knws.
this doesn't seem to be the case, though it would be great.Drama Between Budapest and Vienna, The Final Fighting of the 6. Panzer-Armee, 1945 by Georg Maier with 475+ text pages (conservative estimate as the book is still being laid out), nearly 1,000 footnotes, 16 pages of photos, 124 appendices and a separate 32-page full-color map book.

Re: Operation Spring Awakening
Does anyone know the route of the retreat after the battle,ie;Sopron ,Szombathely? Towards Vienna.
Were there battles on the way?

Re: Operation Spring Awakening
Hi Art,
Many thanks for your reply.
But the link you shared is more about Vienna and not about the battles involved while retreating from Hungary.
I have found one that happened,it is known that at that time the SS-Panzergrenadier Regiment "Thule", occupied a defensive line from the southern sector of the town of Pusztavám, east of town of Mór, east of Csókakö, and northeast of the town of Söred.
I am looking to detect for artifacts from these battle sites,i will be visiting this area when i have found out more info.

Re: Operation Spring Awakening
Klaus K. posted an amazon link about an upcoming book on the Vienna offensive. I don't recall what the title was. in the Waffen SS Panzer unit histories, the period of mid- March-mid April 1945 was exceptionally devastating for their units.

Re: Operation Spring Awakening
I didn't see Klaus K.'s link so I can't be sure, but my new book is due out within weeks from Helion and Casemate. Killing Hitler's Reich, The Battle for Austria, 1945. It is essentially the story of Army Group South after leaving Hungary, the text reached close to 300k words.
