450110_01a: Konrad_II - Relief of Budapest! - [HTH]_Alt - PzC 17 Budapest 45

Pilisszentkereszt, 15km NW of Budapest, January 10th 1945: By the end of the first week in January, it was clear that the Konrad attack was bogging down around Bicske. Hence 4.SS.Pz.K. proposed to shift the focus of the attack farther east where the 711VG had captured Gran and attempt to drive towards Bupapest from that point. Both sides were worn out, but in fact this attack actually came the closest to really reaching Budapest and might have done so, if not stopped by Hitler's orders.
