During the siege of Budapest, a stubborn Russian infantry unit makes slow advance on a major street of the capital city, 1944-1945
Small Hungary had been bled white by the battles on the Don, at the Carpathians, and in eastern Hungary. At Budapest, General Woehler's Army Group South initially relied a great deal on recently recruited Waffen SS divisions. In contrast to the sometimes demoralized Hungarian army units, local volunteer detachments often provided an extra fighting spark. Here Soviet infantry is on the move on a Budapest street.
