AUGUST 1941 part 3
The battle for Budapest:
A last attempt has been made, by the German army, to relive the garrison of the besieged city, by starting an attack Gyor. The attack failed. The German forces were not in a shape, to start any major counterattacking.
The Battle for Budapest itself, was indeed bloody. The German garrison resisted the whole night, between 15th and 16th August, before its commander has capitulated. One day later, the remains of the Hungarian army have decided to make a final stand, till the last man. They have been crushed.
The battle for Vienna:
It took the Soviet army much more effort, to defeat the armies, holding the Austrian capital, as the capital of the whole German Reich. The forces holding the city were fresh and dug in, thats why it was quite a challenge to force them to retreat.
The battle for Strakonice:
On 18th august, the whole Bohemia&Moravia, region has been already occupied. The only resistance was still in the province Strakonice.
When the province was occupied, it came as a great surprise, when the Germans started a counterattack. And it was an even greater surprise, that the Soviet forces were defeated!
Well although the province was reoccupied by the Germans, the victory they achieved was kinda phyric. Since a half of their army, became paper divisions, which were lost after a devastating Soviet counterattack with CAS support.
The only major German armies, were located in Austria and Bavaria, the core of the Nazi Reich. Those guys were dug in and their divisions were in a very good shape (No offense about the name thing).
