The scholarship that went into these books is impeccable, with the author deftly weaving primary and secondary sources to form an excellent and thought provoking picture of this period in the Second World War.' Globe at WarIn the closing months of World War II, with Budapests fall on 12 February 1945 and the breakout attempt by the IX SSGebirgskorps having failed, the only thing the IV. SSPanzerkorps could do was fall back to a more defensible line and fortify the key city of Stuhlweissenburg. Exhausted after three relief attempts in January 1945 and outnumbered by the everincreasing power of Marshal Tolbukhins Third Ukrainian Front, SSObergruppenfhrer Gilles veterans dug in for a lengthy period of defensive warfare. However, Adolf Hitler had not forgotten about the Hungarian theater of operations nor the countrys rich oilfields and was sending help.To the detriment of the defense of Berlin, SSOberstgruppenfhrer Sepp Dietrichs legendary 6. Panzerarmee was on its way, not to retake Budapest, but to encircle and destroy Tolbukhins forces and completely reverse the situation in southeastern Europe in Hitlers favor. This overly ambitious offensive, known as Frhlingserwachen (Spring Awakening), was soon bogged down in the face of resolute Soviet defenses aided by the springtime thaw. Heralded as Nazi Germanys last great offensive of World War II, it resulted in great losses to Hitlers last armored reserve in exchange for only minor gains. Though it played a supporting role during the battle, the IV. SSPanzerkorps was soon caught up in its aftermath, after the Red Army launched its Vienna Operation that nearly swept the armies of Heeresgruppe Sd from the battlefield.Withdrawing into Austria, Gilles battered corps attempted to bar the route into Germany, while the Red Army bore down on Vienna. Forced to endure relentless Soviet attacks as well as the caustic leadership of the 6. Armee commander, General Hermann Balck, the men of the IV. SSPanzerkorps fought their way through Austria to reach the safety of the demarcation line where it finally surrendered to U.S. forces on 9 May 1945 after nearly a year of relentless campaigning.Table of ContentsIntroductionList of MapsList of FiguresIllustrationsChapter 1: A South Wind Brings HopeChapter 2: Operation Spring AwakeningChapter 3: The Defense of StuhlweissenburgChapter 4: Withdrawal to the ReichsschutzstellungChapter 5: Defending the ReichChapter 6: Wars EndAppendicesEndnotesBibliographyIndex
