Description
Budapest: The Stalingrad of the Waffen-SS In the final months of World War II, the city of Budapest became the focal point of a brutal and unequal struggle between Soviet forces and the German Waffen-SS. The battle, which lasted for three and a half years, was marked by extreme losses for the German troops, who fought valiantly to hold back the advancing Soviet army. This book provides a detailed account of the battle, from the early stages of the conflict to its eventual conclusion. The author, Richard Landwehr, delves into the history of the battle, examining the key events and decisions that shaped the outcome. With access to a wide range of sources, including personal accounts and official records, Landwehr sheds light on the complex and often contradictory nature of the conflict. The book includes numerous photographs, illustrations, and maps to illustrate the key events and provide a visual context for the reader. Through its detailed and well-researched account, this book provides a unique insight into one of the most pivotal battles of World War II.
