  1. A memoir from a Red Army soldier: Pjotr Stepanovich Alihanov: Infantry Regiment As to "Loyalty is My Honor" I also do have this book - really a good one worth to read.
  2. Hello, our Hungarian CM community released the Hungarian Mission Pack in March, which currently contains 6 scenarios - recommended: Axis vs. AI. Please try it out and let us know your impressions (there is a topic here at battlefront for discussion). http://www.wargamer.hu/gamefiles/hmp_for_cmbb/hunpack_1.0.exe Best Regards
  3. The aim of this operation was (as raz_atoth wrote) securing raw materail mines such as oil, manganese and bauxite located in Dunántúl (area located west to river Danube). In addition Germans planned to reach Danube and setting up bridgeheads at Dunapentele (today: Dunaújváros), Dunaföldvár and Baja on the eastern bank. Budapest had no special role in this op. as the city fell on the 13th of February, 3 weeks earlier. Launching area was the 'balcony of Székesfehérvár' which important city was recaptured by the Axis during operation Konrad III on the 22nd of January, 1945. According to the Hungarian technical literature, the 6.(SS-) Armoured Army had 303 tanks (114 of which were Panthers and Tigers) and 132 assault guns&tank hunters when the op. began. General Balck's 6.Army had 121 AFVs, including 32 Tiger B. As to losses, 6.(SS-) Armoured Army had 99 operational AFVs and 105 assault guns&tank hunters on the 13th of March, on the 8th day of the offensive (op.ended with a massive counterattack by the Soviets on the 15th-16th). Soviets recorded Axis losses as 45.000 soldiers, 500(!) AFVs, 280 artillery guns and mortars, 500 halftracks and armoured cars, 50 planes. On the other hand, German data shows only 46 AFVs, 5 halftracks, 19 arty guns and 22 mortars as destroyed by the 13th of March. Regards, Balázs
