In March 1945, the Nazis made their last attempt to turn the tide of the war by launching a counterattack in the area of Lake Balaton. The best tank forces of the Third Reich were concentrated here, the elite of the Panzerwaffe - the SS divisions "Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler", "Reich", "Dead Head", "Viking", etc., staffed by convinced Nazis and armed with the latest armored vehicles (a total of up to 900 tanks and self-propelled guns). Whereas for the Red Army this direction remained secondary, therefore, the troops of the 3rd Ukrainian Front had to repel the German counteroffensive on their own, not counting on reinforcements from the Headquarters reserve, which were necessary for the decisive assault on Berlin, relying only on their own skills and rich combat experience. And our troops fulfilled this task with honor, stopping the avalanche of German tanks, inflicting a decisive defeat on the enemy and huge irreparable losses. The defeat of the 6th SS Panzer Army was a real disaster for Germany, and Balaton was the agony of the Panzerwaffe.
In the book of leading military historians, this grandiose battle was first described and analyzed at the modern level, using data from both Soviet and German archives. The edition is richly illustrated with hundreds of rare photographs.
