Stalin’s Europe
The battles for Hungary up to the final fall of Budapest and options to field a Soviet Lend Lease 76 M4 Sherman Battalion, German Panther or Panzer IV/70 companies, Hungarian Rifle, Tank or Assault Gun Companies and Romanian Rifle Battalions.
The very latest Late-war Eastern Front book for Flames Of War is Stalin’s Europe. The book covers the Soviet invasion of Hungary in October 1944 and follows the campaign up to and through the Siege of Budapest until February 1945. The name of the book came about out of the idea that this was the start of Soviet domination of eastern and central Europe, a domination that would not end until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Romania had been overrun in September 1944 and had joined the Soviets and the push westwards. The red tide was lapping at the very shores of Hitler’s Reich.
The battles that raged across Hungary are little known in the West, but involved a massive commitment from all four nations fighting there. The Romanians were the fourth biggest Allied nation in 1944, while the Hungarians were the third largest Axis nation. The Red Army pushed huge numbers of troops through Hungary, doggedly counterattacked at every move by German panzer forces, which Hitler had rushed to Hungary to halt the red tide.
